Assembly:

WindowsBase.dll

Calculates the determinant of two vectors.

public:
 static double Determinant(System::Windows::Vector vector1, System::Windows::Vector vector2);

public static double Determinant (System.Windows.Vector vector1, System.Windows.Vector vector2);

static member Determinant : System.Windows.Vector * System.Windows.Vector -> double

Public Shared Function Determinant (vector1 As Vector, vector2 As Vector) As Double

Parameters

vector1

Vector

The first vector to evaluate.

vector2

Vector

The second vector to evaluate.

Returns

Double

The determinant of vector1 and vector2.

Examples

The following example shows how to calculate the determinant of two Vector structures.

private Double determinantExample()
{
    Vector vector1 = new Vector(20, 30);
    Vector vector2 = new Vector(45, 70);
    Double determinant;

    // determinant is equal to 50
    determinant = Vector.Determinant(vector1, vector2);

    return determinant;
}
