 Syntax

C#

public RouteHeuristics RouteHeuristics { get; set; }

Visual Basic

Public Property RouteHeuristics As RouteHeuristics

 Property Value

A RouteHeuristics delegate used to evaluate the distance from a current routing grid piece to the target one. The default is Distance.

 Remarks

While generating a path, the routing algorithm evaluates pieces of the routing grid adjacent to the current one. It takes into account the cost for passing trough a piece and adds to that cost a heuristic value calculated by RouteHeuristics. So the smaller heuristic value a piece has, the greater the chance the found route to go through that piece.
