Syntax

public bool ElementFilterIsAcceptableForParameterFilterElement(
  ElementFilter elementFilter
)

Parameters

elementFilter ElementFilter

The ElementFilter to validate.

Return Value

Boolean
True if the ElementFilter is acceptable for use by an ParameterFilterElement, false if not.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null

Remarks

ElementFilter is either an ElementParameterFilter or an ElementLogicalFilter representing a Boolean combination of ElementParameterFilters. In addition, we check that each ElementParameterFilter satisfies the following conditions: Its array of FilterRules is not empty and contains:

  • Any number of FilterRules of type FilterValueRule, FilterInverseRule, and SharedParameterApplicableRule or
  • Exactly one FilterCategoryRule containing only one category from categories stored by this ParameterFilterElement or
  • Exactly two rules: the first one is a FilterCategoryRule containing only one category from categories stored by this ParameterFilterElement and the second one is a FilterRule of type FilterValueRule, FilterInverseRule, or SharedParameterApplicableRule.

Note that cases in the second and third bullet are currently allowed only if the parent node of ElementParameterFilter is LogicalOrFilter.
