ArgumentNullException	The resourceId parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

A DDEX provider can expose various resource IDs for localized strings, like a display name and description. These resource IDs are accessed by DDEX clients that then look up the actual localized string by calling this method.

A DDEX provider resource ID can come in two forms. The first enables looking up managed resource strings and has the format Name, Resource [, Assembly]. Following is an example of a resource ID in this form: SqlProvider_DisplayName, MyResources, MyAssembly. GetString parses the resource strings and calls the GetAssembly method to resolve any assembly that is specified in the string. The second form enables looking up resource strings in packages, and has the format #nnnn where nnnn is the integer ID of the resource in the package. An example of a resource ID in this form is #3021. The second form is less common and applies only when the DDEX provider is package based.

Examples

The following code demonstrates how to manually retrieve the display name of a DDEX provider.

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Core;

public class DDEX_IVsDataProviderExample5
{
    public static string GetDisplayName(
        IVsDataProvider provider)
    {
        string displayName = String.Empty;
        string resourceId = provider.GetProperty("DisplayName") as string;
        if (resourceId != null)
        {
            displayName = provider.GetString(resourceId);
        }
        return displayName;
    }
}
