public SemanticItemCollection Answers { get; }

Property Value

A SemanticItemCollection that contains the semantic items that this QuestionAnswerActivity answers.

Example

The following example is taken from the ConcertsSansFrontieres reference application. In this example, AdultTicketsSemanticItem and ChildTicketsSemanticItem are registered as instance dependency properties (see InstanceDependencyProperty). Within the TicketChooser method, two calls to the SetValue method associate the previously mentioned instance dependency properties with semantic items for, respectively, the number of adult tickets and the number of child tickets. Finally, AdultTicketsSemanticItem and ChildTicketsSemanticItem are added to, respectively, the Answers property on askAdultSeats and askChildrenSeatsQuestionAnswerActivity instances.

private static readonly InstanceDependencyProperty AdultTicketsSemanticItemProperty = InstanceDependencyProperty.Register("AdultTicketsSemanticItem", typeof(SemanticItem<long>), typeof(TicketChooser));
private static readonly InstanceDependencyProperty ChildTicketsSemanticItemProperty = InstanceDependencyProperty.Register("ChildTicketsSemanticItem", typeof(SemanticItem<long>), typeof(TicketChooser));

private ResourceManager _resourceManager;

public TicketChooser()
{
  InitializeComponent();

  // These values need to be set only once, as they are language independent. 
  // We can therefore put the initialization code in the constructor.
  // Other properties are set in the Initialize method which is called before each execution.
  SetValue(AdultTicketsSemanticItemProperty, new SemanticItem<long>(this, "adultTickets"));
  SetValue(ChildTicketsSemanticItemProperty, new SemanticItem<long>(this, "childTickets"));

  askAdultSeats.Answers.Add(AdultTicketsSemanticItem);
  askChildrenSeats.Answers.Add(ChildTicketsSemanticItem);
  confirmSeats.Confirms.Add(AdultTicketsSemanticItem);
  confirmSeats.Confirms.Add(ChildTicketsSemanticItem);
}
