Syntax

public class SIUnit : IUnit, IEquatable<SIUnit>, 
	IEquatable<IUnit>

The SIUnit type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	SIUnit	Constructor of the SI unit.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ExponentAmpere	Gets the exponent for the Ampere component.
	ExponentCandela	Gets the exponent for the candela component.
	ExponentKelvin	Gets the exponent for the Kelvin component.
	ExponentKilogram	Gets the exponent for the kilogram component.
	ExponentMetre	Gets the exponent for the metre component.
	ExponentMole	Gets the exponent for the mole component.
	ExponentSecond	Gets the exponent for the second component.
	Name	Full name of the unit.
	Prefixes	Returns a list of possible prefixes for this unit (like µ, m, k, M, G..).
	ShortCut	Usual shortcut of the unit.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(IUnit)	Compares this unit with another unit obj and returns true if both are equal. To be equal, the other unit has to be (i) a SI unit, and (ii) the same name. Thus, J (Joule) and Nm (Newtonmeter) are not considered equal.
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to this instance. (Overrides ObjectEquals(Object))
	Equals(SIUnit)	Determines whether this instance and another specified SIUnit object have the same exponents for all base units. Two SI units are considered equal if the exponents are equal, independently of the unit name. This means e.g. that J (Joule), Nm, and Ws are considered equal.
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
	FromSIUnit	Converts x (in SI units) to the corresponding value in this unit.
	GetHashCode	Returns a hash code for this instance. (Overrides ObjectGetHashCode)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	IsCompatibleTo	Checks whether this SIUnit is compatible with the dimensions described by the provided UnitDescriptionAttribute.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
	ToSIUnit	Converts x to the corresponding SI unit.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Operators

	Name	Description
	Division(SIUnit, SIUnit)	Divides two SI units by subtracting the exponents of the divisor from the dividend.
	Equality(SIUnit, IUnit)	Compares an SIUnit with an IUnit for equality.
	Equality(SIUnit, SIUnit)	Determines whether two SIUnit instances are equal by comparing their exponents.
	Inequality(SIUnit, IUnit)	Determines whether an SIUnit and an IUnit are not equal.
	Inequality(SIUnit, SIUnit)	Determines whether two SIUnit instances are not equal.
	Multiply(SIUnit, SIUnit)	Multiplies two SI units together by adding their corresponding exponents.
