Methods

GetDeviceList<TDevice>(IDeviceRegistry)

Gets the list of registered devices of a particular device type.

public static IReadOnlyList<IRegisteredDevice<TDevice>> GetDeviceList<TDevice>(this IDeviceRegistry deviceRegistry) where TDevice : class

Parameters

deviceRegistry IDeviceRegistry

The device registry.

Returns

IReadOnlyList<IRegisteredDevice<TDevice>>

The list of devices.

Type Parameters

TDevice

The device type.

Remarks

Any configuration changes while the application is running that cause the device list for type TDevice to be regenerated will cause all active devices of that type to be disposed (if they implement IDisposable and recreated from the new configuration. While configuration changes typically only happen during application startup, clients should nonetheless hold on to and use the returned references for only as long as is needed.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

deviceRegistry is null.

GetDeviceService<TService>(IDeviceRegistry, Type)

Attempts to get a service registered for a device type.

public static TService GetDeviceService<TService>(this IDeviceRegistry deviceRegistry, Type deviceType)

Parameters

deviceRegistry IDeviceRegistry

The device registry.

deviceType Type

The device type.

Returns

TService

The first service of type TService in the list of services specified for the registered device type deviceType, or the default value for TService if the device type deviceType is not registered, or there is no service of type TService specified for the device type.

TDevice

The device, or null if not found. See the remarks for more details.
