Installer.OnAfterInstall Method

.NET Framework 3.5

Raises the AfterInstall event.

Namespace: System.Configuration.Install
Assembly: System.Configuration.Install (in System.Configuration.Install.dll)

Syntax

C++

JScript

protected virtual void OnAfterInstall(
	IDictionary savedState
)

Parameters

savedState: Type: System.Collections.IDictionary
An IDictionary that contains the state of the computer after all the installers contained in the Installers property have completed their installations.

Remarks

This method is called after the Install methods of all the installers in this instance's InstallerCollection run.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

The OnAfterInstall method allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors:

When overriding OnAfterInstall in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnAfterInstall method so that registered delegates receive the event.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the OnAfterInstall method. This method is overridden in the derived class. Space is provided to add steps to be done after the installation in the OnAfterInstall method.

C++

// Override the 'OnAfterInstall' method. 
protected override void OnAfterInstall(IDictionary savedState)
{
   base.OnAfterInstall(savedState);
   // Add steps to be done after the installation is over.
   Console.WriteLine("OnAfterInstall method of MyInstaller called");
}
