Parameters
value
Type: System.StringA formatted string containing identifier, label, and path information to convert into a TaxonomyFieldValue or a TaxonomyFieldValueCollection object.
Return value
Type: System.Object
A TaxonomyFieldValue object or a TaxonomyFieldValueCollection object that represents the value parameter.
Remarks
The value parameter string must be formatted as a series of one or more string tokens separated by the Delimiter delimiter. Each token consists of an internal identifier, a label, and a path:[ID;#LABEL|PATH].[ID] is the internal identifier of the list item.[LABEL] is the default Label of the corresponding Term in the TermStore.[PATH] is a string of GUIDs delimited by a pipe (|) character and Terminating in the GUID that identifies the Term: [ROOT_TERM_GUID|...|PARENT_TERM_GUID|TERM_GUID].
For example, [id;#label|path] represents a single value. The string [id1;#label1|path1;#id2;#label2|path2;#id3;#label3|path3] represents three taxonomyfield values that can be parsed into a TaxonomyFieldValueCollection object.
The delimiters in the value string representation are defined by the following properties:[;#] is returned by the Delimiter property, and [|] is returned by the TaxonomyGuidLabelDelimiter property.
The AllowMultipleValues property deTermines whether the TaxonomyField object allows multiple values. If the TaxonomyField object does not allow multiple values, a TaxonomyFieldValue object is returned. Otherwise a TaxonomyFieldValueCollectionobject is returned even if the value parameter represents a single value.
