Computes the maximum value of a view of nullable System.Decimal values.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function LiveMax( _
   ByVal source As View(Of Nullable(Of Decimal)) _
) As AggregationView(Of Nullable(Of Decimal),Nullable(Of Decimal))

public static AggregationView<Nullable<decimal>,Nullable<decimal>> LiveMax( 
   View<Nullable<decimal>> source
)

Parameters

source: A view containing the values to determine the maximum value of.

Return Value

A view representing the maximum of the values.

Remarks

If the source is empty or contains only nulls, the maximum value is null.

It is possible to use standard LINQ query operator Max instead of LiveMax. Both are "live" in the sense that they are recomputed automatically when any change occurs in the source. The difference is that Max will every time loop through the entire source collection and aggregate it from scratch, whereas LiveMax will use a more performant algorithm, will maintain its value incrementally, processing only those source items that actually changed.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
