Examples

The following example demonstrates the CopyTo method of the InstallerCollection class. It creates AssemblyInstaller instances for MyAssembly1.exe and MyAssembly2.exe. These instances are added to a TransactedInstaller. The names of the assemblies to be installed are displayed on the console. The installation process installs both MyAssembly1.exe and MyAssembly2.exe.

C#

TransactedInstaller myTransactedInstaller = new TransactedInstaller();
AssemblyInstaller myAssemblyInstaller;
InstallContext myInstallContext;

// Create an instance of 'AssemblyInstaller' that installs 'MyAssembly1.exe'.
myAssemblyInstaller =
   new AssemblyInstaller("MyAssembly1.exe", null);

// Add the instance of 'AssemblyInstaller' to the 'TransactedInstaller'.
myTransactedInstaller.Installers.Add(myAssemblyInstaller);

// Create an instance of 'AssemblyInstaller' that installs 'MyAssembly2.exe'.
myAssemblyInstaller =
   new AssemblyInstaller("MyAssembly2.exe", null);

// Add the instance of 'AssemblyInstaller' to the 'TransactedInstaller'.
myTransactedInstaller.Installers.Add(myAssemblyInstaller);

Installer[] myInstallers =
   new Installer[myTransactedInstaller.Installers.Count];

myTransactedInstaller.Installers.CopyTo(myInstallers, 0);
// Print the assemblies to be installed.
Console.WriteLine("Printing all assemblies to be installed -");
for(int i = 0; i < myInstallers.Length; i++)
{
   if((myInstallers[i].GetType()).Equals(typeof(AssemblyInstaller)))
   {
      Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", i + 1,
         ((AssemblyInstaller)myInstallers[i]).Path);
   }
}
