XmlPreloadedResolver.GetEntityAsync(Uri, String, Type) Method

Definition

Asynchronously maps a URI to an object that contains the actual resource.

public:
 override System::Threading::Tasks::Task<System::Object ^> ^ GetEntityAsync(Uri ^ absoluteUri, System::String ^ role, Type ^ ofObjectToReturn);
public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task<object> GetEntityAsync (Uri absoluteUri, string? role, Type? ofObjectToReturn);
public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task<object> GetEntityAsync (Uri absoluteUri, string role, Type ofObjectToReturn);
override this.GetEntityAsync : Uri * string * Type -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<obj>
Public Overrides Function GetEntityAsync (absoluteUri As Uri, role As String, ofObjectToReturn As Type) As Task(Of Object)

Parameters

absoluteUri
Uri

The URI returned from ResolveUri(Uri, String).

role
String

The current version of the .NET Framework for Silverlight does not use this parameter when resolving URIs. This parameter is provided for future extensibility purposes. For example, this parameter can be mapped to the xlink:role and used as an implementation-specific argument in other scenarios.

ofObjectToReturn
Type

The type of object to return. The XmlPreloadedResolver supports Stream objects and TextReader objects for URIs that were added as String. If the requested type is not supported by the resolver, an exception will be thrown. Use the SupportsType(Uri, Type) method to determine whether a certain Type is supported by this resolver.

Returns

A Stream or TextReader object that corresponds to the actual source.

Remarks

This method stores in the task it returns all non-usage exceptions that the method's synchronous counterpart can throw. If an exception is stored into the returned task, that exception will be thrown when the task is awaited. Usage exceptions, such as ArgumentException, are still thrown synchronously. For the stored exceptions, see the exceptions thrown by GetEntity(Uri, String, Type).
