Definition

Namespace:

System.Configuration.Install

Assembly:

System.Configuration.Install.dll

Copies the items from the collection to an array, beginning at the specified index.

public:
 void CopyTo(cli::array <System::Configuration::Install::Installer ^> ^ array, int index);

public void CopyTo (System.Configuration.Install.Installer[] array, int index);

member this.CopyTo : System.Configuration.Install.Installer[] * int -> unit

Public Sub CopyTo (array As Installer(), index As Integer)

Parameters

array

Installer[]

The array to copy to.

index

Int32

The index of the array at which to paste the collection.

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.

TransactedInstaller^ myTransactedInstaller = gcnew TransactedInstaller;
AssemblyInstaller^ myAssemblyInstaller;
InstallContext^ myInstallContext;

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

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

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

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

array<Installer^>^ myInstallers =
   gcnew array<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 ( dynamic_cast<AssemblyInstaller^>( myInstallers[ i ] ) )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "{0} {1}", i + 1, ( (AssemblyInstaller^)( myInstallers[ i ]) )->Path );
   }
}

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);
   }
