Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Retrieves a proffered service asynchronously, specifying a hint whether to throw an exception if it could not be retrieved. It does not, however, guarantee exceptions will be thrown for all failure cases.
public:
System::Threading::Tasks::Task<System::Object ^> ^ GetServiceAsync(Type ^ serviceType, bool swallowExceptions);
public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<object> GetServiceAsync (Type serviceType, bool swallowExceptions);
public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<object?> GetServiceAsync (Type serviceType, bool swallowExceptions);
abstract member GetServiceAsync : Type * bool -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<obj>
Public Function GetServiceAsync (serviceType As Type, swallowExceptions As Boolean) As Task(Of Object)
Parameters
- serviceType
- Type
The service identity of the proffered service to retrieve.
- swallowExceptions
- Boolean
true
to return null
on failure; otherwise, false
to throw an exception if the service could not be retrieved. NOTE, specifying false
does not does not guarantee exceptions will be thrown for all failures.
Returns
A task whose result is one of the following:
- The service if the request was successful.
null
if the associated package profferednull
.null
if the associated package could not be found, or the package did not correctly proffer the service.null
if the environment has starting shutting down and the retrieval would have resulted in a package load.- Otherwise;
null
if there was any other failure retrieving the service andswallowExceptions
istrue
.
Exceptions
serviceType
is null
.
swallowExceptions
is false
and there was failure retrieving the service due to one of the following conditions:
- The service threw an exception during activation. InnerException may include details about the underlying failure.
- The associated package failed to load. InnerException may include details about the underlying failure.
Remarks
Performing an explicit cast of the resulting service to a specific interface could perform a blocking RPC call if the underlying service is STA-bound, which can hang if the UI thread is blocked in a Run(Func<Task>) or Join(CancellationToken). Instead, prefer the generic equivalents GetServiceAsync<TService,TInterface>(Boolean, CancellationToken) and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.ServiceExtensions.ServiceExtensions.GetServiceAsync, noting the difference in behavior around exceptions.
This method is safe to access from any thread.
