ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue>.CreateValueCallback Delegate

Definition

Represents a method that creates a non-default value to add as part of a key/value pair to a ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue> object.

public:  where TKey : class where TValue : classdelegate TValue ConditionalWeakTable<TKey, TValue>::CreateValueCallback(TKey key);
public delegate TValue ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue>.CreateValueCallback(TKey key) where TKey : class where TValue : class;
type ConditionalWeakTable<'Key, 'Value (requires 'Key : null and 'Value : null)>.CreateValueCallback = delegate of 'Key -> 'Value
Public Delegate Function ConditionalWeakTable(Of TKey, TValue).CreateValueCallback(key As TKey) As TValue 

Parameters

key
TKey

The key that belongs to the value to create.

Return Value

TValue

An instance of a reference type that represents the value to attach to the specified key.

Examples

The following example defines a MainClass class and a MainInfo class. MainInfo provides information about the MainClass instance. It also defines a static (Shared in Visual Basic) CreateAttachedValue method that can be assigned to the ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue>.CreateValueCallback delegate and passed to the GetValue method. The example calls the GetValue method to add a MainClass object and its corresponding MainInfo object to a ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue> table. The example also illustrates calls to the Add and GetOrCreateValue methods to add key/value pairs to the table, and a call to the TryGetValue method to retrieve the value that belongs to an existing key.

Remarks

The ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue>.CreateValueCallback delegate encapsulates a callback method that is invoked by the ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue>.GetValue method when the key passed to the method is not found in the ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue> object. The GetValue method passes the callback method the key that represents a managed object to which a property value is to be dynamically attached. The method is responsible for returning the property value to its caller, which, in turn, adds the key/value pair to the table.

The ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue>.CreateValueCallback method is used to return an instance of a reference type that can be attached to the specified key. It enables that instance to be initialized using non-default values. If the key is not found in the table, the ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue>.GetOrCreateValue method adds a key/value pair in which the value is initialized using default values.

Extension Methods

GetMethodInfo(Delegate)

Gets an object that represents the method represented by the specified delegate.
