Interface LifeCycle

public interface LifeCycle
The interface used to manage the lifecycle of shared, non-activatable services started by the service starter. Services started via a NonActivatableServiceDescriptor get passed a reference to a LifeCycle object, which can be used by the server to inform the hosting environment that it can release any resources associated with the server (presumably because the server is terminating).
