Microsoft .NET methods calculate some of the computed columns. The following table provides further details on how some computer columns function:
Function |
Description |
---|---|
Concat |
Concatenates a set of input strings. |
Divide |
Divides the first operand by the second operand and throws an exception if the divisor is 0. |
IndexOf |
Returns the character position of the value parameter if the specified string is found, or -1 if it is not found. If the value is empty, the returned value is 0 (zero). |
Join |
Returns a string that consists of the elements in the value delimited by the separator string. If the value is an empty array, the method returns an empty string "". |
Left |
Sets the startIndex parameter to 0. See Substring for further details. |
Length |
Returns the number of char objects in the current string object. This function does not return the number of Unicode characters, because a particular Unicode character might be represented by more than one char object (standard character). |
Minus |
Returns the difference between two double values. |
Multiply |
Calculates the product of its operands. |
PadLeft |
Returns a new string that is equivalent to this, but left-aligned and padded on the right with as many padding characters as needed to create a length of totalWidth. However, if totalWidth is less than the length of this, the method returns a reference to the existing instance. If totalWidth is equal to the length of this, the method returns a new string that is identical. |
PadRight |
Returns a new string that is equivalent to this instance, but left-aligned and padded on the right with as many padding characters as needed to create a length of totalWidth. However, if totalWidth is less than the length of this, the method returns a reference to the existing instance. If totalWidth is equal to the length of this value, the method returns a new string that is identical. |
RegexMatch |
Searches the specified input string for the first occurrence of the regular expression supplied in the pattern. |
RegexReplace |
Returns a new string that is identical to the input string, except that a replacement string takes the place of each matched string. |
Replace |
Returns a string that is equivalent to the current string, except that all instances of oldValue are replaced with newValue. If oldValue is not found in the current instance, the method returns the current instance unchanged. This function throws an exception if oldValue null is empty or null. |
SubString |
Returns a string object equivalent to the substring of the length specified in the length parameter, beginning at the starting index number in the current String object. -or- Returns an empty field if the startIndex parameter is equal to the length of the current object and length is 0 (zero). |
Sum |
Returns the sum of the two operands. |
ToLower (Lowercase) |
Returns the current string in lowercase. |
ToUpper (Uppercase) |
Returns the current string in uppercase. |
Trim |
Passes a single character. Removes all occurrences of the specified character from the beginning and end of the string. |
TrimEnd |
Passes a single character. Removes all occurrences of the specified character from the end of the current string object. |
TrimStart |
Passes a single character. Removes all occurrences of the specified character from the beginning of the string object. |
