Maps a URI to an object that contains the actual resource.

Namespace:  System.Xml
Assembly:  System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetEntity ( _
    absoluteUri As Uri, _
    role As String, _
    ofObjectToReturn As Type _
) As Object

public override Object GetEntity(
    Uri absoluteUri,
    string role,
    Type ofObjectToReturn
)

Parameters

  • role
    Type: System.String
    The current version of the .NET Framework for Silverlight does not use this parameter when resolving URIs. This is provided for future extensibility purposes. For example, this can be mapped to the xlink:role and used as an implementation specific argument in other scenarios.
  • ofObjectToReturn
    Type: System.Type
    The type of object to return. The current version only returns System.IO.Stream objects.

Return Value

Type: System.Object
A System.IO.Stream object. If the stream is not found, an exception is thrown.
