Parameters
Examples
The following example shows how to specify the compiler version when you create a new instance of the
CSharpCodeProvider
class.
using System;
using System.CodeDom.Compiler;
using Microsoft.CSharp;
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace ProviderOptions
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
DisplayCSharpCompilerInfo();
Console.WriteLine("Press Enter key to exit.");
Console.ReadLine();
static void DisplayCSharpCompilerInfo()
Dictionary<string, string> provOptions =
new Dictionary<string, string>();
provOptions.Add("CompilerVersion", "v3.5");
// Get the provider for Microsoft.CSharp
CSharpCodeProvider csProvider = new CSharpCodeProvider(provOptions);
// Display the C# language provider information.
Console.WriteLine("CSharp provider is {0}",
csProvider.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(" Provider hash code: {0}",
csProvider.GetHashCode().ToString());
Console.WriteLine(" Default file extension: {0}",
csProvider.FileExtension);
Console.WriteLine();
Remarks
In .NET Framework apps, you can obtain the value for
providerOptions
from the
<providerOption>
element in the configuration file. You can identify the version of the
CSharpCodeProvider
you want to use by specifying the
<providerOption>
element, supplying "CompilerVersion" as the option name, and supplying the version number (for example, "v3.5") as the option value. You must precede the version number with a lower case "v". The following configuration file example demonstrates how to specify that version 3.5 of the C# code provider should be used.
<configuration>
<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<!-- zero or more compiler elements -->
<compiler
language="c#;cs;csharp"
extension=".cs"
type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System,
Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
compilerOptions="/optimize"
warningLevel="1" >
<providerOption
name="CompilerVersion"
value="v3.5" />
</compiler>
</compilers>
