Deployment Tools Foundation Database Constructor (filePath)
Deployment Tools Foundation Namespaces ► Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller ► Database ► Database(String)
Opens an existing database in read-only mode.
Declaration Syntax
C# Visual Basic Visual C++ F# 
public Database(
	string filePath
)
Public Sub New ( 
	filePath As String
)
public:
Database(
	String^ filePath
)
new : 
        filePath : string -> Database
Parameters
filePath (String)
Path to the database file.
Remarks

Because this constructor initiates database access, it cannot be used with a running installation.

The Database object should be Close()()()()d after use. It is best that the handle be closed manually as soon as it is no longer needed, as leaving lots of unused handles open can degrade performance.
