- metadataViewType
Type: System.Type

- contractName
Type: System.String
The contract name of the Export object to return, or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string ("") to use the default contract name.

Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ObjectDisposedException | The CompositionContainer object has been disposed of. |
ArgumentNullException | type is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
InvalidOperationException | metadataViewType is not a valid metadata view type. |
Remarks
The returned Export objects are instances of Export<T, TMetadataView> underneath, where T is type and TMetadataView is metadataViewType.
The default contract name is the result of calling the GetContractName method on type.
The contract name is compared by using the Ordinal property to perform a case-sensitive, non-linguistic comparison.
