DbFormat

This object allows formatting of DbDouble's as a string having properties to set the dimension, decimal points, label For example, formatting a temperature:

t1 = DbDouble.Create("0 celsius");

DbFormat tempFmt = DbFormat.Create();

tempFmt.Dimension = DbDoubleDimension.GetDimension(DbDimension.TEMP);

tempFmt.Units = DbDoubleUnits.GetUnits(DbUnits.CELSIUS);

tempFmt.DecimalPoints = 1;

tempFmt.Label = "degC";

string tempStr = t1.ToString(tempFmt);

or constructing a DbDouble from a string and given format:

DbFormat f1 = DbFormat.Create();

f1.Dimension = DbDoubleDimension.GetDimension(DbDimension.DIST);

f1.Units = DbDoubleUnits.GetUnits(DbUnits.INCH);

DbDouble d1 = DbDouble.Create("1", f1);
