IHostAssemblyStore::ProvideModule Method
Resolves a module within an assembly or a linked (but not an embedded) resource file.
Syntax
HRESULT ProvideModule (
[in] ModuleBindInfo *pBindInfo,
[out] DWORD *pdwModuleId,
[out] IStream **ppStmModuleImage,
[out] IStream **ppStmPDB
);
Parameters
pBindInfo
[in] A pointer to a ModuleBindInfo instance that describes the requested module's AppDomain, assembly, and module name.
pdwModuleId
[out] A pointer to a unique identifier for the IStream containing the loaded module.
ppStmModuleImage
[out] A pointer to the address of an IStream object, which contains the portable executable (PE) image to be loaded, or null if the module could not be found.
ppStmPDB
[out] A pointer to the address of an IStream object, which contains the program debug (PDB) information for the requested module, or null if the .pdb file could not be found.
Return Value
| HRESULT | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | ProvideModule returned successfully. |
| HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE | The common language runtime (CLR) has not been loaded into a process, or the CLR is in a state in which it cannot run managed code or process the call successfully. |
| HOST_E_TIMEOUT | The call timed out. |
| HOST_E_NOT_OWNER | The caller does not own the lock. |
| HOST_E_ABANDONED | An event was canceled while a blocked thread or fiber was waiting on it. |
| E_FAIL | An unknown catastrophic failure occurred. When a method returns E_FAIL, the CLR is no longer usable within the process. Subsequent calls to hosting methods return HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE. |
| COR_E_FILENOTFOUND (0x80070002) | The requested assembly or linked resource could not be located. |
| E_NOT_SUFFICIENT_BUFFER | pdwModuleId is not large enough to contain the identifier that the host wants to return. |
Remarks
The identity value returned for pdwModuleId is specified by the host. Identifiers must be unique within the lifetime of a process. The CLR uses this value as the unique identifier for the associated stream. It checks each value against the values for pAssemblyId returned by calls to ProvideAssembly and against the values for pdwModuleId returned by other calls to ProvideModule. If the host returns the same identifier value for another IStream, the CLR checks whether the contents of that stream have already been mapped. If so, the CLR loads the existing copy of the image instead of mapping a new one. Therefore, the identifier must also not overlap with the assembly identifiers returned from ProvideAssembly.
