Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Property UnitPrice() As Decimal

public abstract decimal UnitPrice {get; set;}

public: property virtual Decimal^ UnitPrice{
    Decimal^ get();
    Void set(Decimal^);
}

public abstract System.Decimal get_UnitPrice();
public abstract void set_UnitPrice(System.Decimal);

public abstract function get UnitPrice() : Decimal;
public abstract function set UnitPrice(Decimal);

Remarks

For price-calculating scales, set UnitPrice before weighing. The scale will calculate SalesPrice by multiplying the UnitPrice with the pWeightData parameter of the ReadWeight method. So, UnitPrice contains only a factor.

If CapPriceCalculating is FALSE, the scale is not a price-calculating scale. In this case, setting a unit price is not supported and UnitPrice is always zero.

UnitPrice is initialized to zero when the device is first enabled following the Open method.

Accessing UnitPrice can cause the following exception to be thrown:

Value	Meaning
Illegal	CapPriceCalculating is FALSE or an invalid price was specified.
