Examples

CodeDomProvider^ provider = nullptr;

// Check for a provider corresponding to the input language.  
if ( CodeDomProvider::IsDefinedLanguage( language ) )
{
   provider = CodeDomProvider::CreateProvider( language );
   if ( provider )
   {
      // Display information about this language provider.
      Console::WriteLine( "Language provider:  {0}", provider->ToString() );
      Console::WriteLine();
      Console::WriteLine( "  Default file extension:  {0}", provider->FileExtension );
      Console::WriteLine();
      
      // Get the compiler settings for this language.
      CompilerInfo^ langCompilerInfo = CodeDomProvider::GetCompilerInfo( language );
      if ( langCompilerInfo )
      {
         CompilerParameters^ langCompilerConfig = langCompilerInfo->CreateDefaultCompilerParameters();
         if ( langCompilerConfig )
         {
            Console::WriteLine( "  Compiler options:        {0}", langCompilerConfig->CompilerOptions );
            Console::WriteLine( "  Compiler warning level:  {0}", langCompilerConfig->WarningLevel.ToString() );
         }
      }
   }
}

if ( provider == nullptr )  // Tell the user that the language provider was not found.
   Console::WriteLine(  "There is no provider configured for input language \"{0}\".", language );
CodeDomProvider provider;

// Check for a provider corresponding to the input language.
if (CodeDomProvider.IsDefinedLanguage(language))

    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("  Default file extension:  {0}",
        provider.FileExtension);
    Console.WriteLine();

    // Get the compiler settings for this language.

    CompilerInfo langCompilerInfo = CodeDomProvider.GetCompilerInfo(language);
    CompilerParameters langCompilerConfig = langCompilerInfo.CreateDefaultCompilerParameters();

Remarks

Note

This method is most commonly used to create an instance of a code provider in an application that may optionally use one of several providers. CreateProvider allows you to specify at run time the code provider you wish to instantiate. If you know at design time which code provider is to be used, you should create an instance of that code provider rather than use the CreateProvider method.

The CreateProvider method returns a CodeDomProvider instance for a specific language name; it is similar to calling the Activator.CreateInstance method with the language provider type. Use CreateProvider when you want to dynamically find a configured provider implementation for a language name.

If more than one provider implementation is configured for the language name, CreateProvider returns a provider instance for the last matching configuration element.

Use the Activator.CreateInstance(Type, BindingFlags, Binder, Object[], CultureInfo) method overload when you want a specific language provider implementation. For example, use the CreateProvider method to get a provider instance that supports the language name "CSharp"; use the Activator.CreateInstance(Type, BindingFlags, Binder, Object[], CultureInfo) method overload to get a provider instance specifically for the Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider implementation. Use the Activator.CreateInstance(Type, BindingFlags, Binder, Object[], CultureInfo, Object[]) method if you have multiple code providers for a language and you desire to instantiate a specific code provider.

The IsDefinedLanguage method checks whether at least one provider implementation supports a specific language. You can validate a language name using IsDefinedLanguage before passing it to CreateProvider. If you pass an unsupported language name to CreateProvider a System.Configuration.ConfigurationException is thrown.

The GetAllCompilerInfo method can be used to determine all CodeDomProvider implementations on a computer, including additional implementations provided by developers and compiler vendors that are identified in the <system.codedom> Element in the machine configuration file (Machine.config).

The CreateProvider method returns an instance of a CodeDomProvider implementation for a specific language.

Language names are case-insensitive.

Remarks

Note

This method is most commonly used to create an instance of a code provider in an application that may optionally use one of several providers. CreateProvider(String, IDictionary<String,String>) enables you to specify at run time the version of the code provider you want to instantiate. If you know at design time which code provider is to be used, you should create an instance of that code provider instead of using the CreateProvider(String, IDictionary<String,String>) method.

Use CreateProvider(String, IDictionary<String,String>) when you want to dynamically find a configured provider implementation for a specific language and options. Language names are case-insensitive. For information about supported provider options, see the specific CodeDOM provider documentation.

For information about validating a provider and calling a provider if more than one provider implementation is configured for the language name, see the Remarks section of the CreateProvider(String) method.
