CSharpCodeProvider Constructor (IDictionary<String, String>)
Initializes a new instance of the CSharpCodeProvider class by using the specified provider options.
Namespace: Microsoft.CSharp
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Parameters
- providerOptions
- Type: System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<String, String>
A IDictionary<TKey, TValue> object that contains the provider options from the configuration file.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | providerOptions is null. |
The value for providerOptions is obtained from the <providerOption> element in the configuration file. You can identify the version of the CSharpCodeProvider you want to use by specifying the <providerOption> element, supplying "CompilerVersion" as the option name, and supplying the version number (for example, "v3.5") as the option value. You must precede the version number with a lower case "v".
The following configuration file example demonstrates how to specify that version 3.5 of the C# code provider should be used.
<configuration>
<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<!-- zero or more compiler elements -->
<compiler
language="c#;cs;csharp"
extension=".cs"
type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System,
Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
compilerOptions="/optimize"
warningLevel="1" >
<providerOption
name="CompilerVersion"
value="v3.5" />
</compiler>
</compilers>
</system.codedom>
</configuration>
The following example shows how to specify the compiler version when you create a new instance of the CSharpCodeProvider class.
using System; using System.CodeDom.Compiler; using Microsoft.CSharp; using Microsoft.VisualBasic; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace ProviderOptions { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { DisplayCSharpCompilerInfo(); Console.WriteLine("Press Enter key to exit."); Console.ReadLine(); } static void DisplayCSharpCompilerInfo() { Dictionary<string, string> provOptions = new Dictionary<string, string>(); provOptions.Add("CompilerVersion", "v3.5"); // Get the provider for Microsoft.CSharp CSharpCodeProvider csProvider = new CSharpCodeProvider(provOptions); // Display the C# language provider information. Console.WriteLine("CSharp provider is {0}", csProvider.ToString()); Console.WriteLine(" Provider hash code: {0}", csProvider.GetHashCode().ToString()); Console.WriteLine(" Default file extension: {0}", csProvider.FileExtension); Console.WriteLine(); } } }
