Examples

The following example demonstrates the Add method of the InstallerCollection class. This example provides an implementation similar to that of Installutil.exe (Installer Tool). It installs assemblies with the options preceding that particular assembly. If an option is not specified for an assembly, the previous assembly's options are taken if there is a previous assembly in the list. If the "/u" or "/uninstall" option is specified, the assemblies are uninstalled. If the "/?" or "/help" option is provided, the help information is displayed to the console.

Remarks

The InstallerCollection provides the methods and properties that your application needs to manage a collection of Installer objects.

Use any of the following three ways to add installers to the collection:

  • The Add method adds a single installer to the collection.

  • The AddRange methods add multiple installers to the collection.

  • The Insert method and the Item[] property, which is the InstallerCollection indexer, each add a single installer to the collection at the specified index.

Remove installers through the Remove method. Check whether an installer is in the collection by using the Contains method. Find where an installer is located in the collection by using the IndexOf method.

The installers in a collection are run when the installer containing the collection, as specified by the Installer.Parent property, calls their Install, Commit, Rollback, or Uninstall methods.

For examples of the usage of an installer collection, see the AssemblyInstaller and TransactedInstaller classes.

Properties

Capacity

InnerList

Gets an ArrayList containing the list of elements in the CollectionBase instance.

(Inherited from CollectionBase)
Item[Int32]

Gets or sets an installer at the specified index.

List

Gets an IList containing the list of elements in the CollectionBase instance.

(Inherited from CollectionBase)

Methods
