ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Unit

Synopsis

This class is a simple value type used to represent a specific increment of a specific unit of measurement. The Unit class combines a numeric Value property that quantifies the size with a Type property that indicates what scale of measurement is being used. Several shared (static) methods are provided to convert a value of a specific scale to a unit. For example, you can use Percentage() to convert a percentage value to a unit that has the corresponding Type set to UnitType.Percentage.
