Calculates the cross product of two vectors.

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

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

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

Public Shared Function CrossProduct (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 cross product of vector1 and vector2. The following formula is used to calculate the cross product:

(Vector1.X * Vector2.Y) - (Vector1.Y * Vector2.X)

Examples

The following example shows how to use this method to calculate the cross product of two Vector structures.

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

    // crossProduct is equal to 50    
    crossProduct = Vector.CrossProduct(vector1, vector2);

    return crossProduct;
}
