Point Structure
Represents an x- and y-coordinate pair in two-dimensional space.

The Point type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Add | Adds a Vector to a Point and returns the result as a Point structure. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is a Point and whether it contains the same coordinates as this Point. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).) |
![]() | Equals(Point) | Compares two Point structures for equality. |
![]() ![]() | Equals(Point, Point) | Compares two Point structures for equality. |
![]() | GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this Point. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | Multiply | Transforms the specified Point structure by the specified Matrix structure. |
![]() | Offset | Offsets a point's X and Y coordinates by the specified amounts. |
![]() ![]() | Parse | Constructs a Point from the specified String. |
![]() ![]() | Subtract(Point, Point) | Subtracts the specified Point from another specified Point and returns the difference as a Vector. |
![]() ![]() | Subtract(Point, Vector) | Subtracts the specified Vector from the specified Point and returns the resulting Point. |
![]() | ToString() | Creates a String representation of this Point. (Overrides ValueType.ToString().) |
![]() | ToString(IFormatProvider) | Creates a String representation of this Point. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Addition | Translates the specified Point by the specified Vector and returns the result. |
![]() ![]() | Equality | Compares two Point structures for equality. |
![]() ![]() | Explicit(Point to Vector) | Creates a Vector structure with an X value equal to the point's X value and a Y value equal to the point's Y value. |
![]() ![]() | Explicit(Point to Size) | Creates a Size structure with a Width equal to this point's X value and a Height equal to this point's Y value. |
![]() ![]() | Inequality | Compares two Point structures for inequality. |
![]() ![]() | Multiply | Transforms the specified Point by the specified Matrix. |
![]() ![]() | Subtraction(Point, Point) | Subtracts the specified Point from another specified Point and returns the difference as a Vector. |
![]() ![]() | Subtraction(Point, Vector) | Subtracts the specified Vector from the specified Point and returns the resulting Point. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IFormattable.ToString | This member supports the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. For a description of this member, see ToString. |
In XAML, the delimiter between the X and Y values of a Point can be either a comma or a space.
Some cultures might use the comma character as the decimal delimiter instead of the period character. XAML processing for invariant culture defaults to en-US in most XAML processor implementations, and expects the period to be the decimal delimiter. You should avoid using the comma character as the decimal delimiter if specifying a Point in XAML, because that will clash with the string type conversion of a Point attribute value into the X and Y components.
The following example shows how to check if two Point structures are not equal. It also illustrates how to assign values to a Point structure when the structure is being declared and after the structure has been declared.
// Checks if two Points are equal using the overloaded inequality operator. private Boolean pointInequalityExample() { // Checks if two Points are not equal using the overloaded inequality operator. // Declaring point1 and initializing x,y values Point point1 = new Point(10, 5); // Declaring point2 without initializing x,y values Point point2 = new Point(); // Boolean to hold the result of the comparison Boolean areNotEqual; // assigning values to point2 point2.X = 15; point2.Y = 40; // Compare Point structures for equality. // areNotEqual is True areNotEqual = (point1 != point2); return areNotEqual; }
