Unit Property
See Also  Example Send comments on this topic
ESRI.ArcGIS.Client Namespace > TimeClassBreaksAger Class : Unit Property

Gets or sets the type of TimeUnit for which the TimeClassBreakInfo.MinimumAge and TimeClassBreakInfo.MaximumAge Properties use to define temporal groupings for aging the symbology of features.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property Unit As TimeUnit
C# 
public TimeUnit Unit {get; set;}

Remarks

If the Unit Property is not set explicitly in either the code-behind or XAML, then whatever is provided by the ArcGIS Server web service for the temporal dataset will be in used. If creating a custom TimeClassBreaksAger, it is a good programming practice to set the appropriate Unit Property.

The TimeUnit is an Enumeration and has the following possibilities:

  • Days
  • Hours
  • Milliseconds
  • Minutes
  • Months
  • Seconds
  • Weeks
  • Years

To see a full example of how to set and use the Unit Property review the TimeClassBreaksAger Class documentation.

Example

XAMLCopy Code
<!--
The following two XAML code blocks provide equivalent functionality in applying
a TimeClassBreaksAger as a TemporalRenderer.SymbolAger. The difference between 
the two XAML code blocks is in specifying the TimeClassBreaksAger.Unit Property 
and how that affects creating TimeClassBreakInfo groupings that use of the 
MimimumAge and MaximumAge values.
