IExternal |
The base interface class for all external services.
Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.ExternalService
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
SyntaxThe IExternalService type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Execute | Implement this method to execute the given server. |
| GetDescription | Implement this method to return a description of the service. |
| GetName | Implement this method to return the name of the service. |
| GetServiceId | Implement this method to return the unique Id of the service. |
| GetVendorId | Implement this method to return the vendor Id of the service. |
| IsValidServer | Implement this method to check if the given instance represents a valid server of this service. |
| OnServersChanged | Implement this method to handle situations when servers for the service have changed. |
| OnServersDisparity | Implements this method to get notified that the servers in a just opened document differ from those currently set as active for the service. |
RemarksBoth supported kinds of services - single-server and multi-server - will derive their classes from this interface, albeit indirectly through an interface specific to the particular kind. External services never derive directly from this class - they always have to derive from either ISingleServerService or IMultiServerService, respectivelly.
