I implemented the approach to passing data from my bundle via the
BootstrapperApplicationData.xml to the mba some time ago. But today I came
across a much easier approach. I commented out the custom table and the
BootsrapperApplicationData class (which I had modified from the sample code
in the link mentione earlier) and replaced it with the following.
In the bundle wxs I created a variable like this:
<Variable Name='MyBundleVer' Value='$(var.ProductVer)' Type='string'
Persisted='yes' />
Since I am only displaying the data I did not need the bal:Overridable='yes'
in the above element.
And in the mba to get this string variable I do:
public string Version
{
get
{
//return MymbaUX.BootApplicationData.Data.Version;
return MymbaUX.Model.Engine.StringVariables["MyBundleVer"];
}
}
I'm sure there are advantages to the other approach for large amounts of
data, but I just needed to display the version of the bundle in the title of
my main window.
