Distribution Class
The abstract base class for distributions.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamSystem.Data.DataGenerator
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamSystem.Data (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamSystem.Data.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<DistributionAttribute(GetType(DefaultDistributionDesigner))> _
<CLSCompliantAttribute(True)> _
Public MustInherit Class Distribution _
Implements IDistribution
'Usage
Dim instance As Distribution
[DistributionAttribute(typeof(DefaultDistributionDesigner))]
[CLSCompliantAttribute(true)]
public abstract class Distribution : IDistribution
[DistributionAttribute(typeof(DefaultDistributionDesigner))]
[CLSCompliantAttribute(true)]
public ref class Distribution abstract : IDistribution
public abstract class Distribution implements IDistribution
Remarks
Each standard data generator that is numeric (Decimal, Money, DateTime, Real, Float, and the integer generators) has a Distribution property. The user can specify the Distribution property to generate data that approximates a statistical distribution curve. The standard distribution options are as follows: Uniform, Normal, Normal Inverse, Exponential, Exponential Inverse.
If the standard distributions are insufficient, you can create a custom distribution. To create a custom distribution, you must create a class that implements IDistribution or inherits from Distribution. You identify the class as a distribution by decorating it with DistributionAttribute.
You can create a custom designer for a custom distribution, or you can use DefaultDistributionDesigner.
