public:
 bool IsFileGroupDownloaded(System::String ^ groupName);

public bool IsFileGroupDownloaded (string groupName);

member this.IsFileGroupDownloaded : string -> bool

Public Function IsFileGroupDownloaded (groupName As String) As Boolean

Parameters

groupName: String

The named group of files to download. All files marked "optional" in a ClickOnce application require a group name.

Returns

Boolean

true if the file group has already been downloaded for the current version of this application; otherwise, false. If a new version of the application has been installed, and the new version has not added, removed, or altered files in the file group, IsFileGroupDownloaded(String) returns true.

Exceptions

InvalidDeploymentException

groupName is not a file group defined in the application manifest.

Examples

The following code example downloads all of the files in the HelpFiles group to disk.

Remarks

IsFileGroupDownloaded works in a partially trusted application without any security demands.

When you update an application, ClickOnce copies any on-demand data files from the previous version into the new version's data directory. If you download a new version of these files, you should remove any data you want to keep from the old version and move it into the new version.
