ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.RegexItem
Note: The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility. The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added. For guidance on upgrading your existing code, please check out MapSuite 10 Upgrade Guide.
<!– Class –> This class represents a single Regex Match statement and styles to draw.
Remarks
The RegexItem represents a single matching criteria for a RegexStyle.
RegexStyle:
The RegexStyle allows you to use complex regular expression matching to determine how your features are drawn. A regular expression is a matching syntax that allows you to match a string based on very complex criteria. For example, let's say you have a layer that has a column in the data that contains school names. Most school names include the type of school they are. For instance, you may have “Lincoln Middle School” or “Bush High School.” There are variations to these names though, containing words such as “Elementary” or “Prep.” With a regular expression, you can create matching criteria that will allow you to match on many variations of the names. It is especially useful for fuzzy matches where your data is not clearly categorized. Another classic example is for matching or validating email addresses, where matching rules can become complex.
In the RegexStyle, you specify the matching criteria string and also the style you want to use to draw the feature if the criteria matches. It is a simple yet powerful style for dealing with complex rule sets and imprecise data.

RegexItem()
This is a constructor for the class.
Overloads
If you use this constructor, you should set the necessary properties manually.

If you use this constructor, you should set the necessary properties manually.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|
RegexItem(String, AreaStyle)
This is a constructor for the class.
Overloads
This constructor allows you to specify an AreaStyle you want to use. You should use this if the features you are drawing are area-based. Alternatively, you can set the properties of the DefaultAreaStyle directly on the class.
Remarks
It is recommended that you do not use this constructor unless it is absolutely necessary. Instead, you can set the properties directly on the DefaultAreaStyle.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| regularExpression | String<!– System.String –> | This parameter is the regular expression statement you would like to match. |
| areaStyle | AreaStyle<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.AreaStyle –> | This parameter is the style you want to draw with if the regular expression matches. |
RegexItem(String, LineStyle)
This is a constructor for the class.
Overloads
This constructor allows you to specify a LineStyle you want to use. You should use this if the features you are drawing are line-based. Alternatively, you can set the properties of the DefaultLineStyle directly on the class.
Remarks
It is recommended that you do not use this constructor unless it is absolutely necessary. Instead, you can set the properties directly on the DefaultLineStyle.
Parameters

|---|---|---|
| regularExpression | String<!– System.String –> | This parameter is the regular expression statement you would like to match. |
| pointStyle | PointStyle<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.PointStyle –> | This parameter is the style you want to draw with if the regular expression matches. |
RegexItem(String, TextStyle)
This is a constructor for the class.
Overloads
This constructor allows you to specify a TextStyle you want to use. You should use this if the features you are drawing are text-based. Alternatively, you can set the properties of the DefaultTextStyle directly on the class.
Remarks
It is recommended that you do not use this constructor unless it is absolutely necessary. Instead, you can set the properties directly on the DefaultTextStyle.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| regularExpression | String<!– System.String –> | This parameter is the regular expression statement you would like to match. |
| textStyle | TextStyle<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.TextStyle –> | This parameter is the style you want to draw with if the regular expression matches. |
RegexItem(String, Collection<Style>)
This is a constructor for the class.
Overloads
This constructor allows you to specify the TextStyles you want to use. You should use this if the features you are drawing are text-based. Alternatively, you can set the properties of the CustomStyles directly on the class.
Remarks
It is recommended that you do not use this constructor unless it is absolutely necessary. Instead, you can set the properties directly on the CustomStyles.
Parameters
