System::Object
  System::EventArgs
    System.Configuration.Install::InstallEventArgs

Namespace:  System.Configuration.Install

public ref class InstallEventArgs : public EventArgs

The InstallEventArgs type exposes the following members.

  NameDescription
Public methodInstallEventArgs()Initializes a new instance of the InstallEventArgs class, and leaves the SavedState property empty.
Public methodInstallEventArgs(IDictionary)Initializes a new instance of the InstallEventArgs class, and specifies the value for the SavedState property.

  NameDescription
Public propertySavedStateGets an IDictionary that represents the current state of the installation.

  NameDescription
Public methodEquals(Object)Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetHashCodeServes as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodMemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodToStringReturns 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.
