ErrorMessage

ComparisonEvaluationResult.ErrorMessage property

Gets the failed comparison evaluation result’s error message.

public string ErrorMessage { get; }

Examples

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

    // 2.   " COMPARE {0} {1} {2} ".
    Field field = builder.InsertField(string.Format(fieldCode, left, @operator, right), null);

    // If the "comparisonResult" is undefined, we create "ComparisonEvaluationResult" with string, instead of bool.
