Remarks
You can use a Grammar constructor to create a Grammar instance from a GrammarBuilder or SrgsDocument object, or from a file or a Stream that contains a description of a grammar in a supported format. Supported formats include the following:
XML-format files that conform to the W3C Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS) Version 1.0
Grammars that have been compiled to a binary file with a .cfg file extension
Grammar constructors that accept XML-format grammar files in their arguments compile the XML grammars to a binary format to optimize them for loading and consumption by a speech recognition engine. You can reduce the amount of time required to construct a Grammar object from an XML-format grammar by compiling the grammar in advance, using one of the Compile methods.
A speech recognition grammar can define a root rule. To create a Grammar object that specifies which rule to use as its root rule, use a constructor that accepts the ruleName
parameter.
To create a Grammar object that specifies a base URI to resolve relative rule references, use a constructor that takes the baseUri
parameter.

Remarks
This constructor does not pass any parameters to the initialization handler, and the SrgsDocument should not contain an initialization handler that requires arguments.
This constructor does not validate baseUri
. However, the LoadGrammar
method of a SpeechRecognitionEngine or SpeechRecognizer object throws an exception if it cannot resolve all of the rule references in the grammar description. If baseUri
is not null
, the LoadGrammar
method uses the URI to resolve any rule references that it cannot otherwise resolve. If baseUri
represents a file, then the LoadGrammar
method uses both the designated file and the file's directory when it attempts to resolve relative rule references.

does not contain a root rule.
srgsDocument
is null
.
srgsDocument
contains a rule reference that cannot be resolved.
Examples
The following example creates a speech recognition grammar in an SrgsDocument instance, which is then used to construct a Grammar object.
private static Grammar CreateSrgsDocumentGrammar()
{
// Create the SrgsDocument.
SrgsDocument document = new SrgsDocument();
// Create the Cities rule and add it to the document.
SrgsRule citiesRule = new SrgsRule("Cities");
SrgsOneOf cityChoice = new SrgsOneOf();
cityChoice.Add(new SrgsItem("Seattle"));
cityChoice.Add(new SrgsItem("Los Angeles"));
cityChoice.Add(new SrgsItem("New York"));
cityChoice.Add(new SrgsItem("Miami"));
citiesRule.Add(cityChoice);
document.Rules.Add(citiesRule);
// Create the Main rule and add it to the document.
SrgsRule mainRule = new SrgsRule("Main");
mainRule.Scope = SrgsRuleScope.Public;
SrgsItem item = new SrgsItem("I would like to fly from");
item.Add(new SrgsRuleRef(citiesRule));
item.Add(new SrgsText("to"));
item.Add(new SrgsRuleRef(citiesRule));
mainRule.Add(item);
document.Rules.Add(mainRule);
// Set the root rule.
document.Root = mainRule;
// Create the Grammar object.
Grammar citiesGrammar = new Grammar(document);
citiesGrammar.Name = "SrgsDocument Cities Grammar";
return citiesGrammar;
}
Remarks
This constructor does not pass any parameters to the initialization handler, and the SrgsDocument should not contain an initialization handler that requires arguments.
A SrgsDocument can have a root rule. To create a Grammar object that specifies a root rule, use the Grammar or Grammar constructor.
To create a speech recognition Grammar from an SrgsDocument and specify a base URI to use to resolve relative rule references, use the Grammar constructor.

Grammar(String, String)
- Source:
- Grammar.cs
- Source:
- Grammar.cs
- Source:
- Grammar.cs
Initializes a new instance of the Grammar class from a file and specifies a root rule.
public:
Grammar(System::String ^ path, System::String ^ ruleName);
public Grammar (string path, string ruleName);
new System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar : string * string -> System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar
Public Sub New (path As String, ruleName As String)
Parameters
- path
- String
The path of the file that describes a speech recognition grammar in a supported format.
- ruleName
- String
The identifier of the rule to use as the entry point of the speech recognition grammar, or null
to use the default root rule of the grammar description.
Exceptions
ruleName
cannot be resolved or is not public, path
is the empty string (""), or ruleName
is null
and the grammar description does not define a root rule.
path
is null
.
The file does not contain a valid description or describes a grammar that contains a rule reference that cannot be resolved.
Examples
The following example loads a local SRGS file (cities.xml) from a file and specifies a rule to use as the root of the grammar. The content of the cities.xml file appears in the XML example that follows the C# example.
// Load a cities grammar from a local file, use a specific
// rule as the root of the grammar, and return the new grammar.
private static Grammar CreateGrammarFromFile2()
{
Grammar citiesGrammar = new Grammar(@"c:\temp\cities.xml", "Main");
citiesGrammar.Name = "SRGS File Cities Grammar 2";
return citiesGrammar;

Remarks
This constructor does not pass any parameters to the initialization handler, and the description should not define an initialization handler that requires arguments.
This constructor can create a Grammar instance from the following formats:
XML-format files that conform to the W3C Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS) Version 1.0
Grammars that have been compiled to a binary file with a .cfg file extension
This constructor compiles XML-format grammar files to a binary format to optimize them for loading and consumption by a speech recognition engine. You can reduce the amount of time required to construct a Grammar object from an XML-format grammar by compiling the grammar in advance, using one of the Compile methods.
To create a Grammar that specifies a base URI to use to resolve relative rule references, open a file stream for the file and use the Grammar constructor.

Grammar(GrammarBuilder)
- Source:

- Source:

Initializes a new instance of the Grammar class from a GrammarBuilder object.
public:
Grammar(System::Speech::Recognition::GrammarBuilder ^ builder);
public Grammar (System.Speech.Recognition.GrammarBuilder builder);
new System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar : System.Speech.Recognition.GrammarBuilder -> System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar
Public Sub New (builder As GrammarBuilder)
Parameters
- builder
- GrammarBuilder
An instance of GrammarBuilder that contains the constraints for the speech recognition grammar.
Examples
The following example creates a speech recognition grammar using Choices and GrammarBuilder objects. The Grammar constructor creates a Grammar object from the GrammarBuilder object.
// Create a grammar using a GrammarBuilder and return the new grammar.
private static Grammar CreateGrammarBuilderGrammar()
{
GrammarBuilder builder = new GrammarBuilder();
Choices cityChoice = new Choices (new string[]
{"Seattle", "New York", "Miami", "Los Angeles"});
builder.Append("I would like to fly from");
builder.Append(cityChoice);
builder.Append("to");
builder.Append(cityChoice);
Grammar citiesGrammar = new Grammar(builder);
citiesGrammar.Name = "GrammarBuilder Cities Grammar";
return citiesGrammar;

new System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar : System.IO.Stream -> System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar
Public Sub New (stream As Stream)
Parameters
- stream
- Stream
A stream that describes a speech recognition grammar in a supported format.
Exceptions
stream
describes a grammar that does not contain a root rule.
stream

.
The stream does not contain a valid description of a grammar, or describes a grammar that contains a rule reference that cannot be resolved.
