Creates a new GrammarBuilder that contains a GrammarBuilder object followed by a phrase.
Namespace:
Microsoft.Speech.Recognition
Assembly:
Microsoft.Speech (in Microsoft.Speech.dll)
Syntax
| Visual Basic (Declaration) |
|---|
Public Shared Function Add ( _ builder As GrammarBuilder, _ phrase As String _ ) As GrammarBuilder |
| Visual Basic (Usage) |

public static GrammarBuilder Add( GrammarBuilder builder, string phrase ) |
Parameters
- builder
- Type: Microsoft.Speech.Recognition..::..GrammarBuilder
The first grammar element.
- phrase
- Type: System..::..String
The second grammar element, which represents a sequence of words.
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.Speech.Recognition..::..GrammarBuilderA GrammarBuilder for the sequence of the builder element followed by the phrase element.

GrammarBuilder supports implicit conversions from the following classes:
This method accepts the objects listed above for the builder parameter.

 Important |
|---|
Caution is recommended when combining Choices or GrammarBuilder objects that contain SemanticResultValue or SemanticResultKey instances with other grammar elements. The speech recognizer can throw an exception when using a speech recognition grammar that contains duplicate semantic elements with the same key name or multiple semantic elements that could repeatedly modify the value of the same semantic element. For more information about building a speech recognition grammar that contains semantic information, see Add Semantics to a GrammarBuilder Grammar (Microsoft.Speech). |
Examples
The following example creates a speech recognition grammar that can recognize the two phrases, "Make background color" and "Set background to color", where color is selected from a set of colors. Various types are used to build the final grammar, such as String, Choices, and GrammarBuilder objects. The explicit cast operators in the calls to the Add methods are optional.

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