Examples

The following code example enumerates the language providers on the computer and displays the configuration and compiler settings for each language provider. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the CompilerInfo class.

array<CompilerInfo^>^allCompilerInfo = CodeDomProvider::GetAllCompilerInfo();
for ( int i = 0; i < allCompilerInfo->Length; i++ )
{
   String^ defaultLanguage;
   String^ defaultExtension;
   CompilerInfo^ info = allCompilerInfo[ i ];
   CodeDomProvider^ provider = nullptr;
   if ( info )
      provider = info->CreateProvider();

   if ( provider )
   {
      // Display information about this configured provider.
      Console::WriteLine( "Language provider:  {0}", provider->ToString() );
      Console::WriteLine();
      Console::WriteLine( "  Supported file extension(s):" );
      array<String^>^extensions = info->GetExtensions();
      for ( int i = 0; i < extensions->Length; i++ )
          Console::WriteLine( "    {0}", extensions[ i ] );

      defaultExtension = provider->FileExtension;
      if (  !defaultExtension->StartsWith( "." ) )
          defaultExtension = String::Concat( ".", defaultExtension );

      Console::WriteLine( "  Default file extension:  {0}\n", defaultExtension );
      Console::WriteLine( "  Supported language(s):" );
      array<String^>^languages = info->GetLanguages();
      for ( int i = 0; i < languages->Length; i++ )
          Console::WriteLine( "    {0}", languages[ i ] );

      defaultLanguage = CodeDomProvider::GetLanguageFromExtension( defaultExtension );
      Console::WriteLine(  "  Default language:        {0}", defaultLanguage );
      Console::WriteLine();
      
      // Get the compiler settings for this provider.
      CompilerParameters^ langCompilerConfig = info->CreateDefaultCompilerParameters();
      if ( langCompilerConfig )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "  Compiler options:        {0}", langCompilerConfig->CompilerOptions );
         Console::WriteLine( "  Compiler warning level:  {0}", langCompilerConfig->WarningLevel.ToString() );
      }

Remarks

The <system.codedom> Element in the machine configuration file contains the language provider and compiler configuration settings for each CodeDomProvider implementation on the computer. Each configured language provider supports one or more language names. For example, the CompilerInfo object for a Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider might return an array with the language names "c#", "cs", and "csharp".
