Examples
The following example uses GrammarBuilder and Choices objects to construct a grammar that can recognize either of the two phrases, "Make background colorChoice" or "Set background to colorChoice".
After creating a list of acceptable values for colorChoice using a Choices object, the example initializes two GrammarBuilder objects, makePhrase and setPhrase, using implicit conversion from string objects.
The example finally creates a Grammar object from a Choices object cast to a GrammarBuilder object.
private Grammar CreateColorGrammar()
{
// Create a set of color choices.
Choices colorChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"red", "green", "blue"});
GrammarBuilder colorElement = new GrammarBuilder(colorChoice);
// Create grammar builders for the two versions of the phrase.
GrammarBuilder makePhrase = new GrammarBuilder("Make background");
makePhrase.Append(colorElement);
GrammarBuilder setPhrase = new GrammarBuilder("Set background to");
setPhrase.Append(colorElement);
// Create a Choices for the two alternative phrases, convert the Choices
// to a GrammarBuilder, and construct the Grammar object from the result.
Choices bothChoices = new Choices(new GrammarBuilder[] {makePhrase, setPhrase});
Grammar grammar = new Grammar((GrammarBuilder)bothChoices);
grammar.Name = "backgroundColor";
return grammar;
