Creating a Metaverse Rules Extension

  • Article

A metaverse rules extension must implement the IMVSynchronization interface. The contents of IMVSynchronization are specified in the Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices namespace and include the following methods:

The following example shows a class declaration for a metaverse rules extension:

    Public Class MyMVExtensionClass
        Implements IMVSynchronization

    namespace Sample_CSharp_MV_Extension
    {
        public class MyMVExtensionClass : IMVSynchronization
        {
        }
    }

When you implement an interface, you must implement all of the methods defined by that interface. This means that when you create a management agent rules extension, you must also implement, at a minimum, all methods listed above.

The following example shows an entire class declaration for a metaverse rules extension:

    Public Class MVExtensionObject
        Implements IMVSynchronization
    
        Public Sub Initialize() Implements IMvSynchronization.Initialize
            ' TODO: Add initialization code here
        End Sub
    
        Public Sub Terminate() Implements IMvSynchronization.Terminate
            ' TODO: Add termination code here
        End Sub
    
        Public Sub Provision(ByVal mventry As MVEntry) Implements IMVSynchronization.Provision
            ' TODO: Remove this throw statement if you implement this method
            Throw New EntryPointNotImplementedException()
        End Sub
    
        Public Function ShouldDeleteFromMV(ByVal csentry As CSEntry, ByVal mventry As MVEntry) As Boolean Implements IMVSynchronization.ShouldDeleteFromMV
            ' TODO: Add MV deletion code here
            Throw New EntryPointNotImplementedException()
        End Function
    End Class

    namespace Miis_Metaverse
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Summary description for MVExtensionObject.
        /// </summary>
        public class MVExtensionObject : IMVSynchronization
        {
            public MVExtensionObject()
            {
                //
                // TODO: Add constructor logic here
                //
            }
    
            void IMVSynchronization.Initialize ()
            {
                //
                // TODO: Add initialization logic here
                //
            }
    
            void IMVSynchronization.Terminate ()
            {
                //
                // TODO: Add termination logic here
                //
            }
    
            void IMVSynchronization.Provision (MVEntry mventry)
            {
                //
                // TODO: Remove this throw statement if you implement this method
                //
                throw new EntryPointNotImplementedException();
            }   
    
            bool IMVSynchronization.ShouldDeleteFromMV (CSEntry csentry, MVEntry mventry)
            {
                //
                // TODO: Add MV deletion logic here
                //
                throw new EntryPointNotImplementedException();
            }
        }
    }
