private Grammar CreateColorGrammar()
{
// Create a set of color choices.
Choices colorChoice = new Choices(new string[] { "red", "green", "blue" });
// Create grammar builders for the two versions of the phrase.
GrammarBuilder makePhrase =
(GrammarBuilder)"Make background" + colorChoice;
GrammarBuilder setPhrase =
"Set background to" + (GrammarBuilder)colorChoice;
// Create a Choices for the two alternative phrases, convert the Choices
// to a GrammarBuilder, and construct the Grammar object from the result.
Choices bothChoices = new Choices(new GrammarBuilder[] { makePhrase, setPhrase });
GrammarBuilder bothPhrases = new GrammarBuilder(bothChoices);
Grammar grammar = new Grammar(bothPhrases);
grammar.Name = "backgroundColor";
return grammar;
