Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Core
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Core (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Core.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function GetUnsupportedReason ( _
source As Guid, _
command As CommandID, _
context As Object _
) As String
string GetUnsupportedReason(
Guid source,
CommandID command,
Object context
)

abstract GetUnsupportedReason :
source:Guid *
command:CommandID *
context:Object -> string
function GetUnsupportedReason(
source : Guid,
command : CommandID,
context : Object
) : String
Parameters
- source
Type: System.Guid
A DDEX data source identifier.
- command
Type: System.ComponentModel.Design.CommandID
A command identifying the operation.
- context
Type: System.Object
An object representing the context in which the operation exists.
Return Value
Type: System.String
A localized string describing why the specified operation is not supported, if the operation is in fact not supported; otherwise, nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentNullException | The command parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
ArgumentException | The context parameter is not an expected value for the specified operation. |
Remarks
This method enables DDEX providers to return a specific reason that an operation is not supported. DDEX clients can display this reason to the user.
Examples
The following code demonstrates how to implement this method to return a useful message when a Deploy command on a connection node in the data explorer is not supported.
using System;
using System.ComponentModel.Design;
using Microsoft.Win32;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Core;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Services;
public class MyProviderDynamicSupport2 : IVsDataProviderDynamicSupport
{
private static readonly CommandID DeployCommand =
new CommandID(new Guid("6535F307-2083-4cbb-B2FA-11F2DCD69DAF"), 25);
public bool IsProviderSupported
{
get
{
return true;
}
}
public bool IsSourceSupported(Guid source)
{
return true;
}
public bool IsOperationSupported(
Guid source, CommandID command, object context)
{
if (command == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("command");
}
if (command.Equals(DeployCommand))
{
IVsDataExplorerConnection explorerConnection =
context as IVsDataExplorerConnection;
if (explorerConnection == null)
{
throw new ArgumentException();
}
RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(
@"SOFTWARE\Company\DeployTechnology");
if (key == null)
{
return false;
}
key.Close();
}
return true;
}
public string GetUnsupportedReason(
Guid source, CommandID command, object context)
{
if (command == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("command");
}
if (command.Equals(DeployCommand) &&
!IsOperationSupported(source, command, context))
{
// Note: This string should be localized
return "In order to deploy a database you need to install our deployment technology.";
}
return null;
}
