NgenWrapper is a managed wrapper for Ngen.exe (Native Image Generator) tool in .NET.
The wrapper is written in C# and provides better control over ngening progress in custom installers. It captures all the output generated by the ngen.exe and provides simple interface to start, show progress, or cancel ngening.
For Ngen documentation see MSDN.
Usage samples are available in the NgenWrapper.Tests project.
// install assembly with all dependencies
Ngen.InstallAssembly("MyApplication.exe")
// install assembly with all dependencies and live progress indication
using (var ngenLauncher = new NgenLauncher())
{
ngenLauncher.Progress += (o, a) => Console.WriteLine("---> {0}/{1} {2} ", a.Current, a.Total, a.Assembly);
ngenLauncher.InstallAssembly("MyApplication.exe");
ngenLauncher.WaitForExit();
return ngenLauncher.IsSuccessful;
}
