ServiceCreatorCallback provides a mechanism to publish services that you can request to have created when needed, rather than the service being created immediately when the designer loads. You can use a callback function if the service is not essential and may not be used. A service published by using a ServiceCreatorCallback does not use as many additional resources if it is not requested and created. To use a callback function to publish your service, pass a ServiceCreatorCallback to the AddService method of an IServiceContainer.
The following code example shows how to publish a service using a callback function.
// The following code shows how to publish a service using a callback function. // Creates a service creator callback. ServiceCreatorCallback callback1 = new ServiceCreatorCallback(myCallBackMethod); // Adds the service using its type and the service creator callback. serviceContainer.AddService(typeof(myService), callback1);
