The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: SharedState. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
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. Dim callback1 As New ServiceCreatorCallback _ (AddressOf myCallBackMethod) ' Adds the service using its type and the service creator. serviceContainer.AddService(GetType(myService), callback1)
