If successful, returns a Source object; otherwise, returns a null value (there is no Source object in this language service that controls the set of source lines shown in the specified view).

Remarks

The IVsTextLines object is obtained from the IVsTextView with a call to IVsTextView.GetBuffer; it is that IVsTextLines object that is used to search for a Source object in the internal list of Source objects.
