Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: FilterStringRuleEvaluator

FilterStringRuleEvaluator.Evaluate

Method

Description:
Derived classes override this method to implement the test that determines whether the two given string values satisfy the desired condition or not.

Remarks:
The arguments may be thought of as the left and right operands of a binary expression; for example, "a < b", "x >= 100", etc. The left operand comes from an element in the Revit document (e.g., the value of a parameter.) The right operand is supplied by the user when creating the filter that contains the rule that uses this evaluator.
