LayerHashCalculator.GetContentHash

LayerHashCalculator.GetContentHash method

Gets the content hash.

public int GetContentHash()

Return Value

The hash of the significant parameters of layers. This hash is different for all types of layers

Examples

The following code demonstrates the API for getting the unique hash for similar layers in different files.
