The methods of the Choon class are listed below. For a complete list of Choon class members, see the Choon Members topic.
Public Instance Methods
 End | End the write process. This writes the SFT for the final time and closes the output file. This must be called after all samples have been written. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| Extract | This extracts the specified sample to the named file. This is used when converting to a format that uses separate WAV files. If the choonML file is "detached", the existing WAV file is copied (if a new folder or name is specified) or left in place. If inline, the WAV data is extracted into the named file. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| Import | This imports the specifed sample from a WAV file to either binary data or another file. This is used when converting from a format that uses separate WAV files. If the choonML file is "detached", the existing WAV file is copied (if a new folder or name is specified) or left in place. If inline, the WAV data is read from the file and output |
| Load | Load choonML metadata from the path specified in the constructor This also loads the SFT (if ExtFileMode is true) but does not load any actual samples as the converter app should best be able to manage when sample data is needed. |
| SaveMeta | This saves choonML metadata to the file specified in the constructor. It should be called when all data has been read from the source and is "complete", including sample metadata (but usually not the actual samples). This does not write the SFT - this should be done after this to write a "placeholder" SFT |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
| WriteSample | Write a sample out. If writing a detached file (ExtFileMode=true) this writes the sample as an external file named "sample.ExtFileName". If inline, this stores binary data. Note that this needs to be called *after* both SaveMeta and WriteSFT (first time) |
| WriteSFT | Write the Sample File Table out. This is only relevant for an inline file. With a detached file, this can be called but does nothing. The first time this is called (on a Choon instance) this writes a placeholder SFT (with the correct number of samples) and marks the position. Subsequent calls write current SFT data at this position. A typical converter calls this once after saving Meta and then calls End to finish up. |
Protected Instance Methods
 Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
