C#
protected override object GetService(Type serviceType);

Parameters

serviceType
Type

The Type of the service to retrieve.

Returns

If the serviceType is typeof(CommandID) then GetService returns a specific CommandID; otherwise, GetService returns a Object implementing the requested service, or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the service cannot be resolved.

Examples

The following example uses the GetService method of the WorkflowView object to return an ISelectionService interface. If the service exists, EnsureVisible is called passing the currently selected activity using the PrimarySelection property of the ISelectionService object.

C#
public void FindSelection()
{
    ISelectionService selectionService;
    selectionService = ((IServiceProvider)this.workflowView).GetService(typeof(ISelectionService))
        as ISelectionService;

    if (selectionService != null)
        this.workflowView.EnsureVisible(selectionService.PrimarySelection);
}

Remarks

GetService returns a Object implementing the requested service, or a null reference (Nothing) if the service cannot be resolved.
