Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Framework
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Framework (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Framework.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overridable Function ContractIdentifier ( _
    typeName As String, _
    fullIdentifier As Object() _
) As Object()

public virtual Object[] ContractIdentifier(
    string typeName,
    Object[] fullIdentifier
)

public:
virtual array<Object^>^ ContractIdentifier(
    String^ typeName, 
    array<Object^>^ fullIdentifier
)

abstract ContractIdentifier : 
        typeName:string * 
        fullIdentifier:Object[] -> Object[] 
override ContractIdentifier : 
        typeName:string * 
        fullIdentifier:Object[] -> Object[]

public function ContractIdentifier(
    typeName : String, 
    fullIdentifier : Object[]
) : Object[]

Parameters

typeName
Type: System.String

The name of a type of data object.

fullIdentifier
Type: array<System.Object[]

A full identifier of a data object.

Return Value

Type: array<System.Object[]
The partial, contracted unique identifier for a data object.

Implements

IVsDataObjectIdentifierResolver.ContractIdentifier(String, array<Object[])

Remarks

Override this method to convert a full identifier to the smallest possible identifier that still uniquely identifies the object. For example, in a SQL Server database, when user dbo is connected to the pubs database, a full identifier pubs.dbo.authors can be contracted to the simpler form authors.

Notes to Inheritors

The derived class should override this method. The base implementation does nothing and returns the fullIdentifier parameter unmodified.
