Integer Range

Defines a range of integer values.

Remarks

The Integer Range class is used to represent a numeric interval with optional lower and upper bounds, using integer values. This is commonly used in Grooper to configure settings that require a minimum and/or maximum integer value, such as page counts, index ranges, or other integer constraints.

The range is defined by the 'Minimum' and 'Maximum' properties, which can be set independently. Either property may be left unset (null), in which case the range is considered unbounded on that side. For example, setting only 'Minimum' creates a range of >= Minimum, while setting only 'Maximum' creates a range of <= Maximum. If both are unset, the range is considered empty.

When configuring an Integer Range, you can specify the values directly, or use the text entry format supported by the property grid. This format allows for flexible input, such as:

5 - 10 >= 3 <= 7 8

The Integer Range is used throughout Grooper wherever a numeric interval is needed, and supports validation to ensure that the minimum is not greater than the maximum. When configuring, consider the context in which the range is used, and set the bounds appropriately to control the allowed values.

Usage Notes

• If 'Minimum' is greater than 'Maximum', a validation error will be generated.
• Leaving both 'Minimum' and 'Maximum' unset results in an empty range, which may be interpreted as "no constraint" or "not set" depending on the context.
• The string representation of the range is user-friendly and adapts to the values set, making it easy to review configurations.

Properties

Name	Type		Description
Minimum	Nullable Int32?	►	The minimum value of the range. The 'Minimum' property sets the lower bound for the Integer Range. If set, only values greater than or equal to this value are considered within the range. If left unset (null), the range is unbounded below. This property is useful when you want to enforce a minimum threshold. For example, to require values of at least 5, set 'Minimum' to 5. You can set this property directly, or use the text entry format in the property grid: >= 5 If both 'Minimum' and 'Maximum' are set to the same value, the range will only include that single value. Example Configurations To allow any value greater than or equal to 2: >= 2 To specify a range from 1 to 10: 1 - 10 Changing this value will affect which values are considered valid within the range, and may impact validation or processing logic that depends on the Integer Range.
Maximum	Nullable Int32?	►	The maximum value of the range. The 'Maximum' property sets the upper bound for the Integer Range. If set, only values less than or equal to this value are considered within the range. If left unset (null), the range is unbounded above. This property is useful when you want to enforce a maximum threshold. For example, to require values of no more than 10, set 'Maximum' to 10. You can set this property directly, or use the text entry format in the property grid: <= 10 If both 'Minimum' and 'Maximum' are set to the same value, the range will only include that single value. Example Configurations To allow any value less than or equal to 7: <= 7 To specify a range from 3 to 8: 3 - 8 Changing this value will affect which values are considered valid within the range, and may impact validation or processing logic that depends on the Integer Range.
