Exceptions

Exception Condition

There are zero Export<T> objects with the contract name derived from T in the CompositionContainer object.

-or-

There is more than one Export<T> object with the contract name derived from T in the CompositionContainer object.

ObjectDisposedException

The CompositionContainer object has been disposed of.

Remarks

The returned Export<T> object is an instance of Export<T, TMetadataView> underneath, where TMetadataView is IDictionary<TKey, TValue>, TKey is String, and TValue is Object.

The contract name is the result of calling the GetContractName method on T.

The contract name is compared by using the Ordinal property to perform a case-sensitive, non-linguistic comparison.
