Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetExports(Of T, TMetadataView) ( _
    contractName As String _
) As IEnumerable(Of Lazy(Of T, TMetadataView))

public IEnumerable<Lazy<T, TMetadataView>> GetExports<T, TMetadataView>(
    string contractName
)

T
The type of the Export<T, TMetadataView> objects to return. The contract name is also derived from this type parameter.

TMetadataView
The type of the metadata view of the Export<T, TMetadataView> objects to return.

contractName
Type: System.String
The contract name of the Export<T, TMetadataView> objects to return, or null or an empty string ("") to use the default contract name.

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Lazy<T, TMetadataView>>
The Export<T, TMetadataView> objects with the specified contract name if found; otherwise, an empty ExportCollection<T, TMetadataView> object.

Exception	Condition
ObjectDisposedException	The CompositionContainer object has been disposed of.
InvalidOperationException	TMetadataView is not a valid metadata view type.

The default contract name is the result of calling the GetContractName method on T.

The contract name is compared by using the Ordinal property to perform a case-sensitive, non-linguistic comparison.
