Gets the contract metadata.
Namespace: System.ComponentModel.Composition.Primitives
Assembly: System.ComponentModel.Composition (in System.ComponentModel.Composition.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Metadata As IDictionary(Of String, Object)
public virtual IDictionary<string, Object> Metadata { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<String, Object>
The metadata of the ExportDefinition. The default is an empty, read-only IDictionary<TKey, TValue> object.
Remarks
Overrides of this property should return a read-only IDictionary<TKey, TValue> object with a case-sensitive, non-linguistic comparer, such as Ordinal, and should never return nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
If the ExportDefinition does not contain metadata, return an empty IDictionary<TKey, TValue> instead.
