Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As ConverterResolver Dim absoluteUri As Uri Dim role As String Dim ofObjectToReturn As Type Dim value As Object   value = instance.GetEntity(absoluteUri, role, ofObjectToReturn)

public override object GetEntity( 
   Uri absoluteUri,
   string role,
   Type ofObjectToReturn
)

public: Object* GetEntity( 
   Uri* absoluteUri,

) override 

Parameters

absoluteUri

An absolute Uri

role

Specifies whether the returned object will be used to read data or write data. The value must be either null or OUTPUT_ROLE If the value is null, then INPUT_ROLE will be assumed.

ofObjectToReturn

Must be one of null, typeof(System.IO.Stream), typeof(System.Xml.XmlReader) or typeof(System.Xml.XmlWriter). If the value is null, then typeof(System.IO.Stream) will be assumed.

To read data from the Uri as a Stream, use:
Stream obj = (Stream)GetEntity(uri, null, null);

To write data to the Uri with a Stream, use:
Stream obj = (Stream)GetEntity(uri, ConverterResolver.OUTPUT_ROLE, null);

To read data from the Uri as an XmlReader, use:
XmlReader obj = (XmlReader)GetEntity(uri, null, typeof(XmlReader));

To write data to the Uri as an XmlWriter, use:
XmlWriter obj = (XmlWriter)GetEntity(uri, null, typeof(XmlWriter));

OUTPUT_ROLE and INPUT_ROLE are implementation specific values for the DDTek.XmlConverters\ namespace. They should not be used in situations where the fallback resolver will be required.
