ProviderBase.Initialize Method
Assembly: System.Configuration (in system.configuration.dll)
public void Initialize ( String name, NameValueCollection config )
public function Initialize ( name : String, config : NameValueCollection )
Not applicable.
Parameters
- name
The friendly name of the provider.
- config
A collection of the name/value pairs representing the provider-specific attributes specified in the configuration for this provider.
The base class implementation internally tracks the number of times the provider's Initialize method has been called. If a provider is initialized more than once, an InvalidOperationException is thrown stating that the provider is already initialized.
Because most feature providers call Initialize prior to performing provider-specific initialization, this method is a central location for preventing double initialization.
