Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method LoadModel(ILinearModel) Loads a linear model.
Public method LoadModel(ITermModel) Loads a non-linear model.
Public method LoadModel(FileFormat, TextReader) Loads a model from a file.
Public method LoadModel(FileFormat, String) Loads a model in OML, MPS, or .SMPS format.
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method PropagateDecisions Writes decision values from the current solution back to the database.
Public method SaveModel Writes the decision values from a solution.
Public method Solve() Solves a model that has been created and loaded.
Public method Solve(array<Directive[]) Solves a model that has been created and loaded. Solves the model using the specified directives.
Public method Solve(Func<TResult>, Void) Solves a model that has been created and loaded.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Public event Solving Occurs when a solver is solving a model.

Remarks

SolverContext is the first class that a Solver Foundation Services (SFS) developer should use to create, load, save, and solve models. A SolverContext object works on one model at a time, and an instance of SolverContext is obtained through the static GetContext method.

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.
