ComparisonExpressionEvaluator

FieldOptions.ComparisonExpressionEvaluator property

Gets or sets the field comparison expressions evaluator.

public IComparisonExpressionEvaluator ComparisonExpressionEvaluator { get; set; }

Examples

Shows how to implement custom evaluation for the IF and COMPARE fields.
