System_CAPS_puboperatorSystem_CAPS_staticExplicit(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.

System_CAPS_puboperatorSystem_CAPS_staticExplicit(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.

System_CAPS_puboperatorSystem_CAPS_staticInequality(Point, Point)

Compares two Point structures for inequality.

System_CAPS_puboperatorSystem_CAPS_staticMultiply(Point, Matrix)

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubinterfaceSystem_CAPS_privmethodIFormattable.ToString(String, IFormatProvider)

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.

Copy 
<object property="x,y"/>
-or-
<object property="x y"/>

x

The x-coordinate of this Point.

y

The y-coordinate of this Point.

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.

C#
VB
Copy 
// 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;

}
