Properties

	Name	Description
	AppliesTo	Gets the Type of measurement that this Unit applies to. (Inherited from Unit)
	BaseFormat	Gets the default format for displaying quantities of the unit. (Inherited from Unit)
	Conversions	Provides the list of conversion factors for this Unit to the ConversionCache. (Inherited from Unit)
	Dimensions	Gets the number of dimensions this Unit represents. (Inherited from Unit)
	FirstUnit	Gets the first Unit of the CompoundUnit.
	FirstUnitAppliesTo	Gets the Type of Unit that is a legal value for FirstUnit.
	Name	Gets the name of the Unit. (Inherited from Unit)
	NamePlural	Gets the name of the Unit when it represents any quantity other than 1. (Inherited from Unit)
	SecondUnit	Gets the second Unit of the CompoundUnit.
	SecondUnitAppliesTo	Gets the Type of Unit that is a legal value for SecondUnit.
	Symbol	Gets the symbol or abbreviation of the Unit. (Inherited from Unit)

Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateConversionList	When implemented in derived classes, causes the Unit to assemble its list of conversion factors to other units. (Inherited from Unit)
	Equals(CompoundUnit)	Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current CompoundUnit. (Overrides UnitEquals(Object))
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. (Overrides UnitGetHashCode)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
	ToString	Gets the String representation of this CompoundUnit. (Overrides UnitToString)

Remarks

This class is intended to solve the problem of how to represent units that are, in fact, collections of other units. For example, Pressure is measured in force (Mass) over Area, and either of the two constituents could easily vary independently of the other.
