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.

C#

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

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.

C#

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;
}

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.

C#

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

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.

C#

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;
}

Remarks

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