C#

public InPlaceHostingManager(Uri deploymentManifest, bool launchInHostProcess);

Parameters

deploymentManifest

Uri

The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) to the deployment manifest of the application that will be installed.

launchInHostProcess

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create an instance of InPlaceHostingManager that allows you to download Windows Forms-based applications deployed using ClickOnce.

C#

InPlaceHostingManager iphm = null;

public void InstallApplication(string deployManifestUriStr)
{
    try
    {
        Uri deploymentUri = new Uri(deployManifestUriStr);
        iphm = new InPlaceHostingManager(deploymentUri, false);
    }
    catch (UriFormatException uriEx)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Cannot install the application: " + 
            "The deployment manifest URL supplied is not a valid URL. " +
            "Error: " + uriEx.Message);
        return;
    }
    catch (PlatformNotSupportedException platformEx)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Cannot install the application: " + 
            "This program requires Windows XP or higher. " +
            "Error: " + platformEx.Message);
        return;
    }
    catch (ArgumentException argumentEx)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Cannot install the application: " + 
            "The deployment manifest URL supplied is not a valid URL. " +
            "Error: " + argumentEx.Message);
        return;
    }

    iphm.GetManifestCompleted += new EventHandler<GetManifestCompletedEventArgs>(iphm_GetManifestCompleted);
    iphm.GetManifestAsync();
}
