Syntax

public abstract class AverageBreakdown : Breakdown

Public MustInherit Class AverageBreakdown
	Inherits Breakdown

The AverageBreakdown type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Two Breakdown objects are equal if they have the same class and the same configuration. (Inherited from Breakdown)
	FullYears	Returns a non-null FullYearsAverageBreakdown object that specifies average degree days derived from data covering full calendar years determined by the specified period.
	GetHashCode	Overridden to ensure consistency with Equals. (Inherited from Breakdown)

Remarks

This is the abstract superclass of the types of Breakdown that can be taken by an AverageDataSpec.

To create an AverageBreakdown object use the FullYears(Period) static factory method. For example:

AverageBreakdown fiveYearAverage = 
    AverageBreakdown.FullYears(Period.LatestValues(5));

Dim fiveYearAverage As AverageBreakdown = 
    AverageBreakdown.FullYears(Period.LatestValues(5))

AverageDataSpec has more on how to actually fetch average degree-day data with your specified AverageBreakdown.

This abstract class is not designed to be extended by third-party code, which is why it does not have an accessible constructor.

Thread Safety

All concrete subclasses of this abstract class are immutable. You can safely reuse them and call them from multiple threads at once.
