8 Constructors

Types with a non-empty [constructors] property use a convention similar to that for members. This example includes a constructor:

4.97.4    BruleeToppingExtension
(usage){BruleeToppingExtension}
(description)Defines the way in which the topping on a brulée-style dessert is prepared.
[types assignable to]Brulee MarkupExtension Object
(used by)FruitBrulee CremeBrulee
[return value type]BruleeTopping
[constructors] 
          (2 parameters) 
                         thicknessDouble
                                   (description)The thickness of the topping in 1/96th of an inch.
                         burnFactorDouble
                                   (description)The extent to which the sugar is burnt: 0 for raw sugar, 1 for carbon.

Unlike members, which are identified by names, a constructor for a type is distinguished only by the number of parameters it has. This type has a single constructor that takes two parameters. This is interpreted as a Constructor Information Item, whose [arguments] contains one entry per parameter. The [arguments] list contains just XamlType Information Items – both the Double type in this case. Note that the type is the only formal part of the constructor argument – the name and description are only provided for informational purposes.
