ApplicationDeployment.IsFileGroupDownloaded(String) Method

Definition

Checks whether the named file group has already been downloaded to the client computer.

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

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

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.
