ApplicationDeployment.ActivationUri Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Deployment.Application

Assembly:

System.Deployment.dll

Gets the URL used to launch the deployment manifest of the application.

public:
 property Uri ^ ActivationUri { Uri ^ get(); };

public Uri ActivationUri { get; }

member this.ActivationUri : Uri

Public ReadOnly Property ActivationUri As Uri

Property Value

Uri

A zero-length string if the TrustUrlParameters property in the deployment manifest is false, or if the user has supplied a UNC to open the deployment or has opened it locally. Otherwise, the return value is the full URL used to launch the application, including any parameters.

Examples

The following code shows how to retrieve the URL parameters by using ActivationUri, and how to use the HttpUtility class to parse the query string safely. Multiple occurrences of the same query string variable are consolidated in one entry of the returned NameValueCollection.

private NameValueCollection GetQueryStringParameters()
{
    NameValueCollection nameValueTable = new NameValueCollection();

    if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed)
    {
        string queryString = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.ActivationUri.Query;
        nameValueTable = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(queryString);
    }

    return (nameValueTable);
}

Private Function GetQueryStringParameters() As NameValueCollection
    Dim NameValueTable As New NameValueCollection()

    If (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed) Then
        Dim QueryString As String = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.ActivationUri.Query
        NameValueTable = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(QueryString)
    End If

    GetQueryStringParameters = NameValueTable
End Function

Remarks

This property will work in both fully trusted and partially trusted applications.
