IMetaDataDispenserEx Interface

Extends the IMetaDataDispenser Interface interface to provide the capability to control how the metadata APIs operate on the current metadata scope.

Methods

Method	Description
IMetaDataDispenserEx::FindAssembly Method	This method is not implemented. If called, it returns E_NOTIMPL.
IMetaDataDispenserEx::FindAssemblyModule Method	This method is not implemented. If called, it returns E_NOTIMPL.
IMetaDataDispenserEx::GetCORSystemDirectory Method	Gets the directory that holds the current common language runtime (CLR). This method is supported only for use by out-of-process debuggers. If called from another component, it will return E_NOTIMPL.
IMetaDataDispenserEx::GetOption Method	Gets the value of the specified option for the current metadata scope. The option controls how calls to the current metadata scope are handled.
IMetaDataDispenserEx::OpenScopeOnITypeInfo Method	This method is not implemented. If called, it returns E_NOTIMPL.
IMetaDataDispenserEx::SetOption Method	Sets the specified option to a given value for the current metadata scope. The option controls how calls to the current metadata scope are handled.
