XmlResolver.GetEntity Method
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
When overridden in a derived class, maps a URI to an object containing the actual resource.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Parameters
- absoluteUri
- Type: System.Uri
The URI returned from ResolveUri.
- role
- Type: System.String
The current version 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 Stream objects.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| XmlException | ofObjectToReturn is not a Stream type. |
| ArgumentNullException | absoluteUri is null. |
| Exception | There is a runtime error (for example, an interrupted server connection). |
This method is used when the caller wants to map a given URI into the object containing the actual resource that the URI represents. The type of object returned is negotiable; however, the implementation must always support Stream.
Security Note: |
|---|
Your application can mitigate memory Denial of Service threats to the GetEntity method by implementing a wrapping implemented IStream that limits the number of bytes read. This helps to guard against situations where malicious code attempts to pass an infinite stream of bytes to the GetEntity method. |
