Methods

	Name	Description
	AddBool	Add a Boolean value to keyword. The Boolean value is written true or false. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword.
	AddClob	Add a Clob parameter to keyword Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword.
	AddClobBool	Add a bool value to the current Clob parameter. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a Clob.
	AddClobDouble	Add a double precision floating-point (real) value to Clob. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a Clob.
	AddClobFilename	Add a file name value to Clob. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a Clob.
	AddClobFloat	Add a single precision floating-point (real) value to Clob. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a Clob.
	AddClobInt	Add an integer (4 byte) value to the current Clob parameter. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a Clob.
	AddClobString	Add a string value to Clob. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a Clob.
	AddDouble	Add a double precision floating-point (real) value to keyword. The output format is some 'default' format. Check if it may cause loss of precision. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword.
	AddFileName	Add a filename (string) value parameter to keyword. A file name string is in general a relative path string, relative to the pfs file at hand. If an absolute file name is entered, the PFS system will try to make the path relative to the pfs file, when the pfs file is written to disc, hence the relative string value in the PFS file will depend on the location of the pfs file for absolute file names. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword.
	AddInt	Add a four-byte integer to keyword. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword
	AddKeyword	Add a keyword to a section, ie the start of a list of parameter list. This function is used to define the start of a list of parameters. It has no end-counterpart, and the keyword scope is automaticalle "ended" by any other keyword or section related method. Restrictions: This function must be called within the scope of a section.
	AddSection	Start a new section within the scope of a target/section
	AddString	Add a null-terminated character string to keyword. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword.
	AddTarget	Add a new target (top-level section) to a parameter file object. This function is always the first function to be called, and the target definition must be terminated by a pfsEndSection. A target is ended by calling EndSection Restrictions: Possible previous targets must be have been properly terminated by calls to pfsEndSection.
	AddUndefinedPar	Add an undefined parameter to keyword. Undefined can mean different things for different applications, though the most common is "use default value". Before using the undefined parameter, be sure that the model/tool that uses the PFS file supports handling undefined parameters. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword.
	EndSection	Terminate a target or a section. Restrictions: Each pfsEndSection must match a pfsAddTarget or a pfsAddSection.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetInternalHandlePointer	Get the underlying internal PFS handle pointer. For internal use only
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Write	Write the contents of a PFS object to file

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	AddDate	Add a date as 3 integers (yyyy, MM, dd). The time part is ignored Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword. (Defined by PFSExtensions.)
	AddDateTime	Add a date and time as 6 integers (year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds). Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword. (Defined by PFSExtensions.)
	AddDouble(IEnumerableDouble)	Overloaded. Add a number of double precision floating-point (real) values. The output format is some 'default' format. Check if it may cause loss of precision. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword. (Defined by PFSExtensions.)
	AddDouble(Double)	Overloaded. Add a number of double precision floating-point (real) values. The output format is some 'default' format. Check if it may cause loss of precision. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword. (Defined by PFSExtensions.)
	AddInt(IEnumerableInt32)	Overloaded. Add a number of four-byte integer. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword (Defined by PFSExtensions.)
	AddInt(Int32)	Overloaded. Add a number of four-byte integer. Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword (Defined by PFSExtensions.)
	AddKeywordValues	Define a keyword, and adds a number of default type of parameters. A convenience method that will call the appropriate Add method for the provided type. Each parameter must be one of the types: bool: AddBool(Boolean) int or uint: AddInt(Int32) float or double: AddDouble(Double) string: AddString(String) DateTime: AddDateTime(IPFSBuilder, DateTime) It can not handle filenames and CLOBs. Restrictions: This function must be called within the scope of a section. (Defined by PFSExtensions.)
	AddTime	Add a time as 3 integers (hours, minutes, seconds). The date part is ignored Restrictions: The function is only valid within the scope of a keyword. (Defined by PFSExtensions.)

Examples

Example on writing a simple PFS file:

Copy

PFSBuilder builder = new PFSBuilder();
builder.AddTarget("Run11");
// Add keyword and parameters
builder.AddKeyword("key1");
builder.AddInt(2);
builder.AddBool(true);
// Add keyword and parameters in once call
builder.AddKeywordValues("key2", 3.3, 4, "someText");

// Add subsections
builder.AddSection("Results");
builder.AddSection("Result");
builder.AddKeywordValues("outid", "default out");
// File name parameter
builder.AddKeyword("file");
builder.AddFileName(@".\output.res11");
builder.EndSection();
builder.EndSection();

// End target section (Run11)
builder.EndSection();
