Examples
The following code example enumerates the language providers on the computer and displays the configuration and compiler settings for each language provider. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the CompilerInfo class.
CompilerInfo [] allCompilerInfo = CodeDomProvider.GetAllCompilerInfo();
foreach (CompilerInfo info in allCompilerInfo)
{
    String defaultLanguage;
    String defaultExtension;
    CodeDomProvider provider = info.CreateProvider();
    // Display information about this configured provider.
    Console.WriteLine("Language provider:  {0}",
        provider.ToString());
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("  Supported file extension(s):");
    foreach(String extension in info.GetExtensions())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("    {0}", extension);
    }
    defaultExtension = provider.FileExtension;
    if (defaultExtension[0] != '.')
    {
        defaultExtension = "." + defaultExtension;
    }
    Console.WriteLine("  Default file extension:  {0}",
        defaultExtension);
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("  Supported language(s):");
    foreach(String language in info.GetLanguages())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("    {0}", language);
    }
    defaultLanguage = CodeDomProvider.GetLanguageFromExtension(defaultExtension);
    Console.WriteLine("  Default language:        {0}",
        defaultLanguage);
    Console.WriteLine();
    // Get the compiler settings for this provider.
    CompilerParameters langCompilerConfig = info.CreateDefaultCompilerParameters();
    Console.WriteLine("  Compiler options:        {0}",
        langCompilerConfig.CompilerOptions);

    	Remarks
The CreateProvider method returns a CodeDomProvider instance for the current language provider settings.
Use the CreateProvider method to get a CodeDomProvider implementation for a CompilerInfo instance returned by the CodeDomProvider.GetAllCompilerInfo or CodeDomProvider.GetCompilerInfo method.

	Public Function CreateProvider (providerOptions As IDictionary(Of String, String)) As CodeDomProvider
	Parameters
- providerOptions
 - IDictionary<String,String>
 
A collection of provider options from the configuration file.
Returns
