Class Breakdown

  • MetaValue.String Properties

    • All properties with MetaValue.String can be passed as either a String or as an IMetaExpression.

  • EvaluateMetaValuePropertiesInContext(IMetaElement context)

    • Evaluates all MetaValue.String properties in the provided MetaElement context

    • PropertyLinkBuilder methods will automatically evaluate properties

PropertyLinkBuilder

  • SetAbsoluteNavigationLink()

  • SetClassNavigationLink()

  • SetObjectNavigationLink()

// String URL row.Add.Link(metadata.Person.AbsoluteLink, "public") .SetAbsoluteNavigationLink("https://www.encodo.com"); // ExpressionText URL row.Add.Link(metadata.Person.AbsoluteLink, "public") .SetAbsoluteNavigationLink("[expression]If(Name == 'test', 'https://www.test.com', 'https://www.encodo.com')");

Manual Instantiation

// String var aspect = new AbsoluteNavigationLinkAspect(){ URL = https://www.encodo.com" }; // Expression var url = parser.CreateExpression("If(Name == 'test', 'https://www.test.com', 'https://www.encodo.com')"); var aspect = new AbsoluteNavigationLinkAspect(){ URL = url };

XML Layout

On XML layouts the same MetaValue.String properties can accept a String or ExpressionText

<absoluteNavigationLinkAspect target="https://www.encodo.com"></absoluteNavigationLinkAspect> <absoluteNavigationLinkAspect target="[expression]If(Name == 'test', 'https://www.test.com', 'https://www.encodo.com')"></absoluteNavigationLinkAspect>
