The methods of the GeneticAlgorithm class are listed below. For a complete list of GeneticAlgorithm class members, see the GeneticAlgorithm Members topic.
Public Instance Methods
 Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| Evolve | Overloaded. Start searching for problem solution. |
| 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. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
Protected Instance Methods
 EvaluatePopulation | Evaluates population and calculates population fitness. Assigns array of evalutaion and fitness properties for population. |
| 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. |
| FindSolution | The child class overrides this method to find a solution in current population. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
| OnNewGeneration | Raises the NewGeneration event. |
| OnSolutionFound | Raises the SolutionFound event. |
| PerformCrossover | Selects individuals from currentPopulation and adds their children to intermediatePopulation until intermediatePopulation size becomes equal currentPopulation size. |
| PerformMutation | Performs mutations on members of intermediatePopulation. After that step intermediatePopulation becomes current population. |
| PerformSelection | Selects individuals from currentPopulation and adds their clones to intermediatePopulation. |
