Remarks

You can use a Grammar constructor to create a Grammar instance from a GrammarBuilder or SrgsDocument object, or from a file or a Stream that contains a description of a grammar in a supported format. Supported formats include the following:

XML-format files that conform to the W3C Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS) Version 1.0
Grammars that have been compiled to a binary file with a .cfg file extension

Grammar constructors that accept XML-format grammar files in their arguments compile the XML grammars to a binary format to optimize them for loading and consumption by a speech recognition engine. You can reduce the amount of time required to construct a Grammar object from an XML-format grammar by compiling the grammar in advance, using one of the Compile methods.

A speech recognition grammar can define a root rule. To create a Grammar object that specifies which rule to use as its root rule, use a constructor that accepts the ruleName parameter.

To create a Grammar object that specifies a base URI to resolve relative rule references, use a constructor that takes the baseUri parameter.

Examples

The following example creates a speech recognition grammar in an SrgsDocument that contains a relative rule reference to the cities.xml file, and specifies a URI to use to resolve the rule reference. The content of the cities.xml file appears in the XML example that follows the C# example.

private static Grammar CreateSrgsDocumentGrammar3()  
{  
  // Create the SrgsDocument.  
  SrgsDocument document = new SrgsDocument();  

  // Create the Main rule and add it to the document.  
  SrgsRule mainRule = new SrgsRule("Main");  
  mainRule.Scope = SrgsRuleScope.Public;  

  SrgsItem item = new SrgsItem("Can I get a shuttle in");  

  // Create a relative URI for the cities rule.  
  Uri ruleUri = new Uri("cities.xml#Cities", UriKind.Relative);

Remarks

This constructor does not pass any parameters to the initialization handler, and the SrgsDocument should not contain an initialization handler that requires arguments.

This constructor does not validate baseUri. However, the LoadGrammar method of a SpeechRecognitionEngine or SpeechRecognizer object throws an exception if it cannot resolve all of the rule references in the grammar description. If baseUri is not null, the LoadGrammar method uses the URI to resolve any rule references that it cannot otherwise resolve. If baseUri represents a file, then the LoadGrammar method uses both the designated file and the file's directory when it attempts to resolve relative rule references.

Remarks

This constructor does not pass any parameters to the initialization handler, and the description should not define an initialization handler that requires arguments.

This constructor can create a Grammar instance from the following formats:

XML-format files that conform to the W3C Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS) Version 1.0
Grammars that have been compiled to a binary file with a .cfg file extension

An SRGS grammar can define a root rule. To create a Grammar object from a string and specify a root rule, use the Grammar constructor.

To create a Grammar object that specifies a base URI to use to resolve relative rule references, open the file in a file stream and use the Grammar.Grammar constructor.

Applies to

Grammar(SrgsDocument)

Source:: Grammar.cs

Source:: Grammar.cs

Initializes a new instance of the Grammar class from an SrgsDocument object.

public:
 Grammar(System::Speech::Recognition::SrgsGrammar::SrgsDocument ^ srgsDocument);

public Grammar (System.Speech.Recognition.SrgsGrammar.SrgsDocument srgsDocument);

new System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar : System.Speech.Recognition.SrgsGrammar.SrgsDocument -> System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar

Public Sub New (srgsDocument As SrgsDocument)

Parameters

srgsDocument: SrgsDocument

The constraints for the speech recognition grammar.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

srgsDocument does not contain a root rule.

ArgumentNullException

srgsDocument is null.

FormatException

srgsDocument contains a rule reference that cannot be resolved.

Examples

The following example creates a speech recognition grammar in an SrgsDocument instance, which is then used to construct a Grammar object.

private static Grammar CreateSrgsDocumentGrammar()  
{  
  // Create the SrgsDocument.  
  SrgsDocument document = new SrgsDocument();  

  // Create the Cities rule and add it to the document.  
  SrgsRule citiesRule = new SrgsRule("Cities");  

  SrgsOneOf cityChoice = new SrgsOneOf();  
  cityChoice.Add(new SrgsItem("Seattle"));  
  cityChoice.Add(new SrgsItem("Los Angeles"));  
  cityChoice.Add(new SrgsItem("New York"));  
  cityChoice.Add(new SrgsItem("Miami"));  

  citiesRule.Add(cityChoice);  
  document.Rules.Add(citiesRule);  

  // Create the Main rule and add it to the document.  
  SrgsRule mainRule = new SrgsRule("Main");  
  mainRule.Scope = SrgsRuleScope.Public;  

  SrgsItem item = new SrgsItem("I would like to fly from");  
  item.Add(new SrgsRuleRef(citiesRule));  
  item.Add(new SrgsText("to"));  
  item.Add(new SrgsRuleRef(citiesRule));  

  mainRule.Add(item);  
  document.Rules.Add(mainRule);  

  // Set the root rule.  
  document.Root = mainRule;  

  // Create the Grammar object.  
  Grammar citiesGrammar = new Grammar(document);  
  citiesGrammar.Name = "SrgsDocument Cities Grammar";  

  return citiesGrammar;  
}

Remarks

This constructor does not pass any parameters to the initialization handler, and the SrgsDocument should not contain an initialization handler that requires arguments.

A SrgsDocument can have a root rule. To create a Grammar object that specifies a root rule, use the Grammar or Grammar constructor.

To create a speech recognition Grammar from an SrgsDocument and specify a base URI to use to resolve relative rule references, use the Grammar constructor.

Grammar(String, String)

Source:: Grammar.cs

Source:: Grammar.cs

Initializes a new instance of the Grammar class from a file and specifies a root rule.

public:
 Grammar(System::String ^ path, System::String ^ ruleName);

public Grammar (string path, string ruleName);

new System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar : string * string -> System.Speech.Recognition.Grammar

Public Sub New (path As String, ruleName As String)

Parameters

path: String

The path of the file that describes a speech recognition grammar in a supported format.

ruleName: String

The identifier of the rule to use as the entry point of the speech recognition grammar, or null to use the default root rule of the grammar description.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

ruleName cannot be resolved or is not public, path is the empty string (""), or ruleName is null and the grammar description does not define a root rule.

ArgumentNullException

path is null.

FormatException

The file does not contain a valid description or describes a grammar that contains a rule reference that cannot be resolved.

Examples

The following example loads a local SRGS file (cities.xml) from a file and specifies a rule to use as the root of the grammar. The content of the cities.xml file appears in the XML example that follows the C# example.

// Load a cities grammar from a local file, use a specific  
// rule as the root of the grammar, and return the new grammar.  
private static Grammar CreateGrammarFromFile2()
