Remarks
The following first code snippet example shows how to use this method if you did not use a custom entity type. Let’s say, you use forms roles. Therefore, if the picker is not asking for forms roles, then your search and resolve methods should not get involved. For example if the picker is configured to just return distribution lists and not form roles then your claims provider should not be returning data.
The second code snippet shows an example with is a custom entity type.
Examples
if (!EntityTypesContain(entityTypes, SPClaimEntityTypes.FormsRole))
return;
private bool DoesEntityTypesContainMyCustomType(String[] entityTypes)
{
bool result = false;
result = EntityTypesContain(entityTypes, MyEntityType);
return result;
}
