Allows a host to provide additional information about the location of an assembly.
Namespace:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating Assembly:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.dll)
'用途
Dim instance As ITextTemplatingEngineHost
Dim assemblyReference As String
Dim returnValue As String
returnValue = instance.ResolveAssemblyReference(assemblyReference)
'宣告
Function ResolveAssemblyReference ( _
assemblyReference As String _
) As String
Parameters
- assemblyReference
- Type: System..::.String
The assembly to resolve.
Return Value
Type: System..::.String
A String that contains the specified assembly reference or the specified assembly reference with additional information.
If the user has specified the optional assembly directive in a text template, the engine calls this method. This method can be called 0, 1, or multiple times, for each text template transformation. For more information, see Directive Syntax (Domain-Specific Languages).
A host can search for the assembly in different locations, in the order it prefers, or add a path of its choosing to the start of the assembly reference.
The following code example shows a possible implementation for a custom host. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ITextTemplatingEngineHost interface.
Public Function ResolveAssemblyReference(ByVal assemblyReference As String) As String Implements Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.ITextTemplatingEngineHost.ResolveAssemblyReference
'if the argument is the fully qualified path of an existing file,
'then we are done (this does not do any work)
'----------------------------------------------------------------
If File.Exists(assemblyReference) Then
Return assemblyReference
End If
'the assembly might be in the same folder as the text template that
'called the directive
'----------------------------------------------------------------
Dim candidate As String = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Me.inputFile), assemblyReference)
If File.Exists(candidate) Then
Return candidate
End If
'this can be customized to search specific paths for the file,
'or to search the GAC
'----------------------------------------------------------------
'this can be customized to accept paths to search as command line
'arguments
'----------------------------------------------------------------
'if we cannot do better - return the original file name
Return ""
End Function
