DirectiveProcessor.ProcessDirective Method
When overridden in a derived class, processes a single directive from a template file.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.11.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.11.0.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public MustOverride Sub ProcessDirective ( _
directiveName As String, _
arguments As IDictionary(Of String, String) _
)
public abstract void ProcessDirective(
string directiveName,
IDictionary<string, string> arguments
)
public:
virtual void ProcessDirective(
String^ directiveName,
IDictionary<String^, String^>^ arguments
) abstract
abstract ProcessDirective :
directiveName:string *
arguments:IDictionary<string, string> -> unit
public abstract function ProcessDirective(
directiveName : String,
arguments : IDictionary<String, String>
)
Parameters
directiveName
Type: StringThe name of the directive to process.
arguments
Type: IDictionary<String, String>The arguments for the directive.
Implements
IDirectiveProcessor.ProcessDirective(String, IDictionary<String, String>)
Remarks
One directive processor can support many different directives. When ProcessDirective is called, conditional statements run only the specific directive that is being called.
The directives process the arguments and generate code to be added to the generated transformation class.
Examples
The following code example shows a possible implementation for a custom directive processor. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DirectiveProcessor class.
public override void ProcessDirective(string directiveName, IDictionary<string, string> arguments)
{
if (string.Compare(directiveName, "CoolDirective", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0)
{
string fileName;
if (!arguments.TryGetValue("FileName", out fileName))
{
throw new DirectiveProcessorException("Required argument 'FileName' not specified.");
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
{
throw new DirectiveProcessorException("Argument 'FileName' is null or empty.");
}
//Now we add code to the generated transformation class.
//This directive supports either Visual Basic or C#, so we must use the
//System.CodeDom to create the code.
//If a directive supports only one language, you can hard code the code.
