Examples

The following example shows how to check if two Point structures are not equal. It also illustrates how to assign values to a Point structure when the structure is being declared and after the structure has been declared.

// Checks if two Points are equal using the overloaded inequality operator.
private Boolean pointInequalityExample()
{
    // Checks if two Points are not equal using the overloaded inequality operator.

    // Declaring point1 and initializing x,y values
    Point point1 = new Point(10, 5);

    // Declaring point2 without initializing x,y values
    Point point2 = new Point();

    // Boolean to hold the result of the comparison
    Boolean areNotEqual;

    // assigning values to point2
    point2.X = 15;
    point2.Y = 40;

    // Compare Point structures for equality.
    // areNotEqual is True
    areNotEqual = (point1 != point2);

    return areNotEqual;

}

' Checks if two Points are equal using the overloaded inequality operator.
Private Function pointInequalityExample() As Boolean
    ' Checks if two Points are not equal using the overloaded inequality operator.

    ' Declaring point1 and initializing x,y values
    Dim point1 As New Point(10, 5)

    ' Declaring point2 without initializing x,y values
    Dim point2 As New Point()

    ' Boolean to hold the result of the comparison
    Dim areNotEqual As Boolean

    ' assigning values to point2
    point2.X = 15
    point2.Y = 40

    ' Compare Point structures for equality.
    ' areNotEqual is True
    areNotEqual = (point1 <> point2)

    Return areNotEqual

End Function

Remarks

In XAML, the delimiter between the X and Y values of a Point can be either a comma or a space.

Some cultures might use the comma character as the decimal delimiter instead of the period character. XAML processing for invariant culture defaults to en-US in most XAML processor implementations, and expects the period to be the decimal delimiter. You should avoid using the comma character as the decimal delimiter if specifying a Point in XAML, because that will clash with the string type conversion of a Point attribute value into the X and Y components.

XAML Attribute Usage

<object property="x,y"/>  
-or-  
<object property="x y"/>  

XAML Values

x
The x-coordinate of this Point.

y
The y-coordinate of this Point.
