Represents an Argument that obtains its value from the evaluation of other RuleLogic instances.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices.Rules
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices.Rules (in microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.rules.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class RuleValue
    Inherits Argument

public class RuleValue : Argument

public ref class RuleValue : public Argument

public class RuleValue extends Argument

public class RuleValue extends Argument

Remarks

The RuleValue class allows you to use the result of other rule evaluations as a value in a rule.

You must provide a rule in the RuleValue(RuleLogic) constructor or using the Rule property; this rule must have the same InputType value as the rule or condition you are defining.

A RuleLogic instance of type FilterRule has a Boolean return value; an instance of type PropertyRule has a return type determined by the Result property.

Example

The following example shows how to use a rule value to obtain the logic for a SimpleLeafCondition from a PropertyRule. The SimpleLeafCondition to evaluate the Quantity field for a value that matches the definition of Few:

// Define a new property that defines "Few," "Some," and "Alot"
// of inventory. 
PropertyRule quantityCategory = new PropertyRule(
    new ViewInputType(eventView),
    new PropertyStatement(new SimpleLeafCondition(
        new FieldValue("Quantity"),
        SimpleOperator.LessThan, 100), "Few"),
    new PropertyStatement(new BetweenLeafCondition(
        new FieldValue("Quantity"), 100, 200), "Some"),
    new PropertyStatement(new SimpleLeafCondition(
            new FieldValue("Quantity"),
            SimpleOperator.GreaterThan, 200),
        "Alot"));

// Create subscription and define basic properties.
s = new Subscription(nsApplication, subscriptionClassName);
s.SubscriberId = "Scott";
s.Enabled = true;
s.RuleName = "InventoryTrackerRule";
s.SetFieldValue("DeviceName", "myDevice");
s.SetFieldValue("SubscriberLocale", "en-us");


// Use the new property to return only products with "few" remaining
// in inventory. Note that the category definition can be reused.
s.Condition = new SimpleLeafCondition(
    new RuleValue(quantityCategory),
    SimpleOperator.Equals,
    "Few");

// Add subscription.
s.Add();
