Examples
The following example uses GrammarBuilder and Choices objects to construct a grammar that can recognize either of the two phrases, "Make background colorChoice" or "Set background to colorChoice".
After creating a list of acceptable values for colorChoice using a Choices object, the example initializes two GrammarBuilder objects, makePhrase and setPhrase, using implicit conversion from string objects.
The example finally creates a Grammar object from a Choices object cast to a GrammarBuilder object.

private Grammar CreateColorGrammar() { // Create a set of color choices. Choices colorChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"red", "green", "blue"}); GrammarBuilder colorElement = new GrammarBuilder(colorChoice); // Create grammar builders for the two versions of the phrase. GrammarBuilder makePhrase = new GrammarBuilder("Make background"); makePhrase.Append(colorElement); GrammarBuilder setPhrase = new GrammarBuilder("Set background to"); setPhrase.Append(colorElement); // Create a Choices for the two alternative phrases, convert the Choices // to a GrammarBuilder, and construct the Grammar object from the result. Choices bothChoices = new Choices(new GrammarBuilder[] {makePhrase, setPhrase}); Grammar grammar = new Grammar((GrammarBuilder)bothChoices); grammar.Name = "backgroundColor"; return grammar; } |
