IResourceProvider.GetObject(String, CultureInfo) Method

public:
 System::Object ^ GetObject(System::String ^ resourceKey, System::Globalization::CultureInfo ^ culture);

public object GetObject(string resourceKey, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture);

abstract member GetObject : string * System.Globalization.CultureInfo -> obj

Public Function GetObject (resourceKey As String, culture As CultureInfo) As Object

Parameters

Returns

An Object that contains the resource value for the resourceKey and culture.

Examples

The following code example shows a customized resource provider factory that retrieves cached values. The resource provider factory creates an instance of a customized resource provider that implements IResourceProvider. The resource provider includes a customized GetObject method.

Remarks

When implemented, the GetObject method returns the localized value for a resource key based on the current culture. The implementing class could retrieve the CurrentUICulture property if a value for the culture parameter is not passed in.
