Function CreateAdapter (
    reference As ModelBusReference,
    serviceProvider As IServiceProvider
) As ModelBusAdapter

Parameters

• reference
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Integration.ModelBusReference

  The reference to a model or an element within it.

• serviceProvider
  Type: System.IServiceProvider

  A service provider to pass on to the new adapter. Can be null.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Integration.ModelBusAdapter

The adapter that was created, or null if one could not be created

Remarks

The IServiceProvider should be used by callers to supply services that implement a private protocol between the caller and the Adapter being created by the AdapterManager. If an AdapterManager does not require any special services from the caller or if the client does not wish to invoke the private protocol, then this API should not be used. Instead, use the overloaded CreateAdapter() which just accepts a ModelBusReference. Note to implementors: In order to retrieve general purpose Services, use the ModelBus's ServiceProvider or any other standard ServiceProvider instead.
