The following code example illustrates the use of MaxValue:
public ref class Temperature { public: static property double MinValue { double get() { return Double::MinValue; } } static property double MaxValue { double get() { return Double::MaxValue; } } protected: // The value holder double m_value; public: property double Value { double get() { return m_value; } void set( double value ) { m_value = value; } } property double Celsius { double get() { return (m_value - 32.0) / 1.8; } void set( double value ) { m_value = 1.8 * value + 32.0; } } };
