IContract.QueryContract(String) Method

Definition

Returns a contract that is implemented by this contract.

public:
 System::AddIn::Contract::IContract ^ QueryContract(System::String ^ contractIdentifier);
public System.AddIn.Contract.IContract QueryContract (string contractIdentifier);
abstract member QueryContract : string -> System.AddIn.Contract.IContract
Public Function QueryContract (contractIdentifier As String) As IContract

Parameters

contractIdentifier
String

A string that identifies the contract that is being requested.

Returns

An IContract that represents a contract that a client is requesting from the current contract; null if the current contract does not support the contract that is requested.

Remarks

The QueryContract method enables IContract objects to expose other contracts. QueryContract serves a purpose similar to that of the IUnknown.QueryInterface method in COM.

The format of the strings used to identify contracts is defined by the IContract implementation. It is recommended that you use the AssemblyQualifiedName of the contract that is being queried.
