Point.Explicit Operator

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows

Assembly:

WindowsBase.dll

Converts a Point into a Size or a Vector.

Overloads

Explicit(Point to Vector)	Creates a Vector structure with an X value equal to the point's X value and a Y value equal to the point's Y value.
Explicit(Point to Size)	Creates a Size structure with a Width equal to this point's X value and a Height equal to this point's Y value.

Explicit(Point to Vector)

Creates a Vector structure with an X value equal to the point's X value and a Y value equal to the point's Y value.

public:
 static explicit operator System::Windows::Vector(System::Windows::Point point);

public static explicit operator System.Windows.Vector (System.Windows.Point point);

static member op_Explicit : System.Windows.Point -> System.Windows.Vector

Public Shared Narrowing Operator CType (point As Point) As Vector

Parameters

point

Point

The point to convert.

Returns

Vector

A vector with an X value equal to the point's X value and a Y value equal to the point's Y value.

Examples

The following example shows how to explicitly convert a Point into a Vector.

private Vector overloadedExplicitOperatorVectorExample()
{

    Point point1 = new Point(10, 5);

    // Explicitly converts a Point structure into a Vector structure.
    // returnVector is equal to (10,5).
    Vector returnVector = (Vector)point1;

    return returnVector;
}

Private Function overloadedExplicitOperatorVectorExample() As Vector

    Dim point1 As New Point(10, 5)

    ' Explicitly converts a Point structure into a Vector structure.
    ' returnVector is equal to (10,5).
    Dim returnVector As Vector = CType(point1, Vector)

    Return returnVector

End Function

Explicit(Point to Size)

Creates a Size structure with a Width equal to this point's X value and a Height equal to this point's Y value.

public:
 static explicit operator System::Windows::Size(System::Windows::Point point);

public static explicit operator System.Windows.Size (System.Windows.Point point);

static member op_Explicit : System.Windows.Point -> System.Windows.Size

Public Shared Narrowing Operator CType (point As Point) As Size

Parameters

point

Point

The point to convert.

Returns

Size

A Size structure with a Width equal to this point's X value and a Height equal to this point's Y value.

Examples

The following example shows how to explicitly convert a Point into a Size.

private Size overloadedExplicitOperatorSizeExample()
{

    Point point1 = new Point(10, 5);

    // Explicitly converts a Point structure into a Size structure.
    // returnSize has a width of 10 and a height of 5  
    Size returnSize = (Size)point1;

    return returnSize;
}

Private Function overloadedExplicitOperatorSizeExample() As Size

    Dim point1 As New Point(10, 5)

    ' Explicitly converts a Point structure into a Size structure.
    ' returnSize has a width of 10 and a height of 5  
    Dim returnSize As Size = CType(point1, Size)

    Return returnSize

End Function

Remarks

Because a Size structure cannot be negative, the absolute values of the point's X and Y properties are used.
