Parameters

• directiveName
  Type: String

  The name of the directive.

• arguments
  Type: IDictionary<String, String>

  The arguments that were passed to the ProcessDirective method that is calling this method.

• requiresArguments
  Type: IDictionary<String, String>

  The standard parameters that the directive processor requires.

• providesArguments
  Type: IDictionary<String, String>

  The standard parameters that the directive processor provides.

Return Value

Type: String
A String that contains a unique ID for a call to the directive processor.

Remarks

A text template can contain more than one call to the same directive or to different directives in the same directive processor. This method provides a unique ID for each directive call, which the directive processor can use when calling ResolveParameterValue.

Directive processors can use one of their provides parameters to specify the unique ID. The arguments parameters are searched first for the unique ID, and the providesArguments parameters are searched second. If no unique ID is found, directiveName is used as the unique ID.

This method is called by ProcessDirective.
