Syntax

'Declaration
<STraceConfigurationAttribute(SkipAutoTrace := True)> _
Public Function Evaluate ( _
    evaluationMode As AdHocPolicyEvaluationMode, _
    ParamArray targetObjects As Object() _
) As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As Policy
Dim evaluationMode As AdHocPolicyEvaluationMode
Dim targetObjects As Object()
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.Evaluate(evaluationMode, _
    targetObjects)

[STraceConfigurationAttribute(SkipAutoTrace = true)]
public bool Evaluate(
    AdHocPolicyEvaluationMode evaluationMode,
    params Object[] targetObjects
)

[STraceConfigurationAttribute(SkipAutoTrace = true)]
public:
bool Evaluate(
    AdHocPolicyEvaluationMode evaluationMode, 
    ... array<Object^>^ targetObjects
)

[<STraceConfigurationAttribute(SkipAutoTrace = true)>]
member Evaluate : 
        evaluationMode:AdHocPolicyEvaluationMode * 
        targetObjects:Object[] -> bool 

public function Evaluate(
    evaluationMode : AdHocPolicyEvaluationMode, 
    ... targetObjects : Object[]
) : boolean

Parameters

  • targetObjects
    Type: array<System.Object[]
    An array<Object[] object that specifies target objects.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that verifies whether the policy was executed successfully.
If True, the policy was executed successfully. Otherwise, False.

Remarks

This ignores all target filters and policy groups. This will throw an exception if the query expression isn’t a single object.
