How to use GetTypes correctly? - SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for Windows Forms Forum

Hi,

As soon as I try to get the content from the DotNetProjectResolver, like the _DotNetProjectResolver.SourceProjectContent.GetTypes(null, pProject.ProjectTemplate.NameSpace, DomBindingFlags.Public). It will return different results when it has not finished parsing, it returns an incomplete result.

How do I use functions like GetTypes correctly?
It would really help if the post-condition of these retrieval functions like GetTypes() will always return the same results regardless of the parsing state. So perhaps it should wait for the parser to finish before returning a incomplete result?

Yes that is true, it can only return results for data that it knows about.

What we do sometimes is call this before looking for results:

// Try and ensure the compilation unit is up-to-date
SemanticParserService.WaitForParse(SemanticParserServiceRequest.GetParseHashKey(syntaxEditor.Document, syntaxEditor.Document));

That will wait briefly if the document is queued for parsing. If the parsing is taking too long it will continue on. There is an overload where you can specify a custom max wait time.
