    providesDictionary : IDictionary<String, String>
)

Parameters

• directiveName
  Type: String

  The name of the directive.

• providesDictionary
  Type: IDictionary<String, String>

  An IDictionary that contains the standard parameters that this processor provides.

Remarks

Use this method to add key-value pairs to the providesDictionary parameter. The key is the name of a provides parameter that the directive processor supports. The value of the parameter is the default value if the user does not specify a different value when calling the directive.

This method is called by ProcessDirective.

Examples

The following example sets up the dictionary of items that this directive processor will provide. This code example is part of a larger example that is provided for the RequiresProvidesDirectiveProcessor class.

protected override void InitializeProvidesDictionary(string directiveName, IDictionary<string, string> providesDictionary)
{
if (StringComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase.Compare(directiveName, DomDirectiveTag) == 0)
{
// Populate the dictionary with the default names that will be used.
providesDictionary[DomProvidedParameterName] = DomProvidedParameterName;
}
}
