Methods

	Name	Description
	Enum	Creates a domain representing a choice between a group of strings.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IntegerRange	Creates a domain representing an integer value in a restricted range.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	RealRange	A domain representing a real value in a restricted range.
	Set(Int32())	Creates a domain representing values from a discrete set.
	Set(Rational())	Creates a domain representing values from a discrete set.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

Domains determine the range of acceptable values for a decision or a parameter. A Domain instance is created by calling a static method on the Domain class. Domains that are frequently used include Real and Integer. The domains of decisions and parameters are considered when determining which solvers may be used to solve a model.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
