Example

In this example, you open a package from a specified path on the hard disk and display several package properties.

Note:
For this example to work properly, you must change the path name of the package in the code to match the package path on your local machine.

// Package.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace Microsoft.ComponentStudio.ComponentPlatformInterface
{
	public class MyClass
	{
		static void Main()
		{
			// Open a package from a specific path:
			Package pkg = Cpi.Instance.OpenPackage(
			@"C:\DistributionShare\Packages\HotFix\calc.package");
		 // Display the package properties:
			Console.WriteLine(pkg.Description);
			Console.WriteLine(pkg.CompanyName);
			Console.WriteLine(pkg.Copyright);
	}
}
}
/* Output:
Microsoft.Windows.Calc.Demo
Microsoft Corporation
c Microsoft Corporation
