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
	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)	Compares this unit with another unit other and returns true when both are equal. 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. If you want to compare the name too, use Equals(IUnit)
	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
	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)
