Examples

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.
ServiceCreatorCallback^ callback1 =
   gcnew ServiceCreatorCallback( this, &Sample::myCallBackMethod );

// Adds the service using its type and the service creator callback.
serviceContainer->AddService( myService::typeid, callback1 );

// The following code shows how to publish a service using a callback function.

// Creates a service creator callback.
ServiceCreatorCallback callback1 = 
new ServiceCreatorCallback(myCallBackMethod);

// Adds the service using its type and the service creator callback.
serviceContainer.AddService(typeof(myService), callback1);

' 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)

Remarks

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.
