Examples
This example uses the OpenForPackage method to listen to notifications on the current package (Package.Current). The event handler acts on any optional package that has finished updating.
void RegisterForDeploymentNotifications()
{
if (catalog == null)
{
catalog = PackageCatalog.OpenForPackage(Package.Current);
catalog.PackageUpdating += OptionalPackageUpdatingCallback;
}
}
void OptionalPackageUpdatingCallback(object sender, PackageUpdatingEventArgs args)
{
if (args.IsComplete && args.TargetPackage.IsOptional)
{
// Let the user know the Optional package has updated, and can be used now
var messageDialog = new MessageDialog(args.TargetPackage.DisplayName +
" has been updated. Please restart the app to enjoy our latest features.");
}
}
Remarks
This API requires the PackageQuery capability (unless the call is for the current package).
This API allows a package to listen to deployment notifications for another package and its dependents (like PWAs).
