Remarks

A DomainServiceDescriptionProvider is used to provide the metadata description of a DomainService and the types it exposes. This includes creation of the DomainServiceDescription, as well as, custom TypeDescriptor objects for types returned from the service. A provider can be declaratively associated with a service by using the DomainServiceDescriptionProviderAttribute. DomainServiceDescriptionProvider objects are chained together by passing in the parent provider on construction.

Thread Safety
