A Provider DLL implements this function. The Location Framework calls this export during service shutdown.
Syntax
DWORD ProviderStop(void);
Parameters
There are no parameters.
Return Value
Return values from this function are ignored.
Remarks
This function is called immediately before the Location Framework unloads the Provider DLL. Cleanup operations that are not safe to be called from the Providers DLLMain (such as thread related, COM, winsock, etc…) must be called in this function.
If the Provider has spun up any worker threads, it must block until all of them come to a halt in this function. Failure to do so can cause a crash because the worker threads will attempt to execute on code pages that have been freed when the library was unloaded.
Requirements
