Interface IActivator

Provides methods that create class and exception instances from Ice type IDs.

public interface IActivator

Remarks

When decoding a buffer, an Ice decoder uses its activator to create a class or exception instance before decoding the instance's fields.

Creates an instance of an Ice class or Ice exception based on a type ID.

object? CreateInstance(string typeId)

object: A new instance of the class identified by typeId, or null if the implementation cannot find the corresponding C# class.

This implementation of this method can also throw an exception if the class is found but the activation of an instance fails.

Gets or creates an activator for the Ice types defined in the specified assemblies and their referenced assemblies.

public static IActivator FromAssemblies(params Assembly[] assemblies)

IActivator: An activator that activates the Ice types defined in assemblies and their referenced assemblies. See FromAssembly(Assembly).

Gets or creates an activator for the Ice types in the specified assembly and its referenced assemblies.

public static IActivator FromAssembly(Assembly assembly)

IActivator: An activator that activates the Ice types defined in assembly provided this assembly contains generated code (as determined by the presence of the IceGeneratedCodeAttribute attribute). The Ice types defined in assemblies referenced by assembly are included as well, recursively. If a referenced assembly contains no generated code, the assemblies it references are not examined.
