IAppxManifestReader

IAppxManifestReader interface

-description

Represents an object model of the package manifest that provides methods to access manifest elements and attributes.

-inheritance

The IAppxManifestReader interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IAppxManifestReader also has these types of members:

-remarks

Do not implement this object. Use the provided implementation instead.

This IAppxManifestReader object parses and validates the app package manifest and exposes elements and attributes in the manifest in a type-safe manner. This object can also be used to get an underlying IStream for the raw XML if needed.

Note Starting with Windows 8.1, we recommend not to use IAppxManifestReader::GetResources anymore to only iterate over the Language values in the manifest. Instead, use IAppxManifestReader2::GetResources because it iterates over other resource qualifiers as well, such as, Scale and DXFeatureLevel.

This object can be retrieved using the CreateManifestReader method of the IAppxFactory interface or the GetManifest method of the IAppxPackageReader interface. In either case, the manifest is validated before returning the IAppxManifestReader object. If the XML is not syntactically valid, then the above mentioned methods fail, and the IAppxManifestReader object is not returned.
