The following table shows the boilerplate wording for parameter descriptions within operator topics. The wording varies according to the operator type.

For general guidelines for writing parameter descriptions, see Parameters.

Operator type Parameter Wording Example
Unary/binary A/The <generic description of type> to XXX. unit
Type: System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit
The length measurement to add.
Conversion operator A/The <generic description of type> to convert. value
Type: System.Double
The double-precision floating-point number to convert.
(You can also shorten this to:
The number to convert.)

Note: If any of the parameter types in an operator is a primitive, use the language-neutral phrase for it.
