InstallEventArgs Class

.NET Framework (current version)

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

public ref class InstallEventArgs : EventArgs

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodInstallEventArgs()

Initializes a new instance of the InstallEventArgs class, and leaves the SavedState property empty.

System_CAPS_pubmethodInstallEventArgs(IDictionary^)

Initializes a new instance of the InstallEventArgs class, and specifies the value for the SavedState property.

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubpropertySavedState

Gets an IDictionary that represents the current state of the installation.

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodEquals(Object^)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_protmethodFinalize()

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_protmethodMemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

InstallEventArgs contains an IDictionary that holds information about the current state of the installation. The BeforeInstall, AfterInstall, Committing, Committed, BeforeRollback, AfterRollback, BeforeUninstall, and AfterUninstall event handlers use this information.

The following example demonstrates the InstallEventArgs constructors and the SavedState property of the InstallEventArgs class.

There are two new events called BeforeCommit and AfterCommit. The handlers of these events are invoked from the protected methods named OnBeforeCommit and OnAfterCommit respectively. These events are raised when the Commit method is called.

      Console::WriteLine( "The count of saved state objects are : {0}\n",
         e->SavedState->Count );
   }

   // A simple event handler to exemplify the example.
private:
   void AfterCommitHandler( Object^ sender, InstallEventArgs^ e )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "AfterCommitHandler event handler has been called\n" );
