Format ( object obj ) : string	Create an SDL string representation for an object (note: Strings and Characters will be surrounded by quotes.)
Format ( object obj, bool addQuotes ) : string	Create an SDL string representation for an object
List ( String valueList ) : IList	Parse the string of values and return a list. The string is handled as if it is the values portion of an SDL tag.
Map ( string attributeString ) : object>.IDictionary	Parse a string representing the attributes portion of an SDL tag and return the results as a map.
ValidateIdentifier ( string identifier ) : string	Validates an SDL identifier String. SDL Identifiers must start with a Unicode letter or underscore (_) and contain only unicode letters, digits, underscores, and dashes.
Value ( String literal ) : Object	Get the value represented by a string containing an SDL literal.

Method Details

CoerceOrFail() public static method

Coerce the type to a standard SDL type or throw an argument exception if no coercion is possible.

If no coercion is /// possible

public static CoerceOrFail ( Object obj ) : object
obj	Object	The object to coerce
return	object

Format() public static method

Create an SDL string representation for an object (note: Strings and Characters will be surrounded by quotes.)

public static Format ( object obj ) : string
obj	object	The object to format
return	string

Format() public static method

Create an SDL string representation for an object

public static Format ( object obj, bool addQuotes ) : string
obj	object	The object to format
addQuotes	bool	Quotes will be added to Strings and /// Characters if true
return	string

List() public static method

Parse the string of values and return a list. The string is handled as if it is the values portion of an SDL tag.

(or subclass SDLParseException) If /// the string contains literals that cannot be parsed If valueList /// is null.

public static List ( String valueList ) : IList
valueList	String	A string of space separated SDL literals ///
return	IList

Map() public static method

Parse a string representing the attributes portion of an SDL tag and return the results as a map.

(or subclass SDLParseException) If /// the string contains literals that cannot be parsed or the map is /// malformed If attributeString /// is null.

public static Map ( string attributeString ) : object>.IDictionary
attributeString	string	A string of space separated key=value /// pairs
return	object>.IDictionary

ValidateIdentifier() public static method

Validates an SDL identifier String. SDL Identifiers must start with a Unicode letter or underscore (_) and contain only unicode letters, digits, underscores, and dashes.

If identifier is /// not a valid SDL identifier

public static ValidateIdentifier ( string identifier ) : string
identifier	string
return	string

Value() public static method

Get the value represented by a string containing an SDL literal.

(or subclass SDLParseException) If /// the string cannot be interpreted as an SDL literal If literal is null. ///

public static Value ( String literal ) : Object
literal	String	An SDL literal
return	Object
