Evaluate Method


Derived classes override this method to implement the test that determines whether the two given string values satisfy the desired condition or not.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)
Since: 2011

Syntax

C#
public bool Evaluate(
	string lhs,
	string rhs,
	bool caseSensitive
)
Visual Basic
Public Function Evaluate ( _
	lhs As String, _
	rhs As String, _
	caseSensitive As Boolean _
) As Boolean
Visual C++
public:
bool Evaluate(
	String^ lhs, 
	String^ rhs, 
	bool caseSensitive
)

Parameters

lhs
Type: System String
A value from an element in the document.
rhs
Type: System String
The user-supplied value against which values from the document are tested.
caseSensitive
Type: System Boolean
If true, string comparisons are done case-sensitively.

Return Value

True if the given arguments satisfy the condition, otherwise false.

Remarks

The arguments may be thought of as the left and right operands of a binary expression; for example, "a < b", "x >= 100", etc. The left operand comes from an element in the Revit document (e.g., the value of a parameter.) The right operand is supplied by the user when creating the filter that contains the rule that uses this evaluator.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
