Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateDynamicAssembly	This method creates a new assembly whose contents are the given assembly file.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetContextTypeResolver(IVsHierarchy)	Gets a type resolver for the specified hierarchy node.
	GetContextTypeResolver(IVsHierarchy, UInt32)	Gets a type resolver for the specified hierarchy node and item ID.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetTypeDiscoveryService(IVsHierarchy)	Gets a type discovery service for the specified hierarchy node.
	GetTypeDiscoveryService(IVsHierarchy, UInt32)	Gets a type discovery service for the specified hierarchy node and item ID.
	GetTypeResolutionService(IVsHierarchy)	Gets a type resolution service for a given hierarchy node.
	GetTypeResolutionService(IVsHierarchy, UInt32)	Gets a type resolution service for a given hierarchy node and item ID.
	IsDynamicAssembly	Determines whether or not the specified assembly has been dynamically created.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnAssemblyDeleted	Raised when an assembly has been deleted.
	OnAssemblyObsolete	Raised when an assembly has been made obsolete.
	OnAssemblyRefreshed	Raised when an assembly has been refreshed, for example when it has been rebuilt and the name or configuration has changed.
	OnTypeObsolete	Raised when a type has been made obsolete, that is, when it no longer resolves.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Events

	Name	Description
	AssemblyDeleted	Notifies clients when an assembly has been deleted.
	AssemblyObsolete	Notifies clients when an assembly has been made obsolete, that is, when it no longer resolves.
	AssemblyRefreshed	Notifies clients when an assembly has been refreshed, for example when it has been rebuilt and the name or configuration has changed.
	TypeObsolete	Notifies clients when a type has been made obsolete, that is, when it no longer resolves.

Remarks

This implementation of ITypeResolutionServiceProvider tracks project lifetimes and automatically shuts down a type resolution service when the project closes. Most designer objects rely on ITypeResolutionService. It is the responsibility of the individual designer loaders to add this service to the service container.

Type resolution in Visual Studio is based on resolving a type name to a reference. References can take several forms: references to files on disk (either directly or through the GAC), references to projects, or references to output generated by the compiler.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
