The FetchAsync method is a static method of the Sandbox.Package class. It is used to asynchronously fetch a package from the server using a specified identifier string. This method returns a Task<Sandbox.Package>, which represents the asynchronous operation and contains the fetched package upon completion.
To use the FetchAsync method, you need to provide two parameters:
identString (string): The identifier string of the package you want to fetch. This should be a valid package identifier.partial (bool): A boolean value indicating whether to allow partial fetching of the package. If set to true, the method may return a partially fetched package if the full package cannot be retrieved.Call this method when you need to retrieve package details from the server, especially when dealing with remote packages.
// Example of using FetchAsync to fetch a package
string packageIdentifier = "example.package.identifier";
bool allowPartial = false;
Sandbox.Package.FetchAsync(packageIdentifier, allowPartial).ContinueWith(task =>
{
if (task.IsCompletedSuccessfully)
{
Sandbox.Package package = task.Result;
// Use the package object as needed
}
else
{
// Handle errors
Exception ex = task.Exception;
}
});
