Example

The following code sample retrieves the information about the pipeline components from the PipelineComponentInfos collection. The sample iterates through the collection, and then prints the values for the properties in each PipelineComponentInfo, including the Description.

            PipelineComponentInfos pInfos = app.PipelineComponentInfos;
            // Iterate through the collection, 
            // printing values for the properties.
            foreach (PipelineComponentInfo pInfo in pInfos)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("ComponentType:      {0}", pInfo.ComponentType);
