DigitalProduction.Units

A units conversion library for .Net.

Summary

A C# library for handling unit conversions.

Features:

• Unit definitions are specified in an XML file so they can be modified, added, or removed without compiling the software.
• Different sets of units can be maintained by using different XML files. For example, a simplied set and a larger, more complete, set.
• A single conversion for each unit is specified. It is not necessary to specify every combination of unit conversions.

Usage

UnitConverter.Deserialize("units.xml");

// Parsing.
UnitResult result = unitConverter.ParseUnitString("1 m", out double value, out string inUnits);

// Conversion.
result = unitConverter.ConvertUnits(value, inUnits, "ft", out double convertedValue);
