SelectionException

Summary(IEnumerable<ITabularNamedObject>, bool, bool)

Returns a string with a short description of the types of objects in the items collection. Resolved against CurrentUICulture.

public static string Summary(this IEnumerable<ITabularNamedObject> items, bool onlyTypeNames = false, bool capitalize = true)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IEnumerable<ITabularNamedObject>	items	The collection to summarize
bool	onlyTypeNames	Set to false to always show the types of objects in the collection
bool	capitalize

Returns

Type	Description
string

Summary(IEnumerable<ITabularNamedObject>, CultureInfo, bool, bool)

Culture-aware variant of Summary(IEnumerable<ITabularNamedObject>, bool, bool). Resolves all resource strings and casing through the supplied culture so callers can produce a language-stable summary independent of the current UI culture. Pass InvariantCulture to obtain the English/neutral form (e.g. for feeding the AI assistant, whose prompts and skills are English-only).

public static string Summary(this IEnumerable<ITabularNamedObject> items, CultureInfo culture, bool onlyTypeNames = false, bool capitalize = true)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IEnumerable<ITabularNamedObject>	items
CultureInfo	culture
bool	onlyTypeNames
bool	capitalize

Returns

Type	Description
string
