    Type serviceType,
    object serviceInstance,
    bool promote

Name Type Description

The type of service to add.

serviceInstance Object

An instance of the service type to add. This object must implement or inherit from the type indicated by the serviceType parameter.

promote Boolean

Remarks

The Book control implements System.IServiceProvider and System.ComponentModel.Design.IServiceContainer interfaces. In addition to providing services, it also provides a mechanism for adding and removing services. To obtain a service, call the Book.GetService method.

When a service is added, it can be added with instructions to promote it. When a service is promoted, it is added to any parent service container, on up until the top of the service container tree is reached.
