To pass parameter values to the object reference of action step in sequence file of teststand programatically using C#.

[bannerghatta road]

//Initialize the Engine

            EngineClass myEngine = new EngineClass();

            myEngine.LoadTypePaletteFilesEx(TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_Prompt, 0);

           

            Step myStep = myEngine.NewStep(AdapterKeyNames.DotNetAdapterKeyname,StepTypes.StepType_Action);

            myStep.Name = "object";

 

            DotNetModule dotnetmodule = myStep.Module as DotNetModule;

            dotnetmodule.SetAssembly(DotNetModuleAssemblyLocations.DotNetModule_AssemblyLocation_File,@"C:sequence.dll");

            dotnetmodule.ClassName = "CN";

            dotnetmodule.MemberType = DotNetModuleMemberTypes.DotNetMember_GetProperty;

            dotnetmodule.MemberName = "ISI";  

mySequence.Locals.NewSubProperty("object", PropertyValueTypes.PropValType_Reference, false, "", 0);        

Sequence mySequence = myEngine.NewSequence();

            mySequence.Locals.NewSubProperty(varName, PropertyValueTypes.PropValType_Reference, false, String.Empty, 0);

mySequence.InsertStep(myStep, 0, StepGroups.StepGroup_Main);

            SequenceFile seqFile = myEngine.NewSequenceFile();

            seqFile.InsertSequence(mySequence);

seqFile.Save("C:\\mySeq.seq");

I have done this,dynamically creating a sequence file in teststand programatically through c#.

Problem is

1.I created an action step and object Reference variable for the step, but i am not able to pass  parameter values to the objectReference 

2.I am not able to load the sequence in to the main Sequence of the sequence file in the teststand. How can I do these two things.

Hi,

have you ever followed on my Links ?!?!?

and read the the answer from Mannoch

starting with this words:

Anthony -

Currently, functionality for retrieving the Metadata Token for a class constructor or member is not fully provided in the TestStand .NET Adapter API. The DotNetModule.GetConstructorMetadataToken() and DotNetModule.GetMetadataToken() methods only return the correct Metadata Token when the member/constructor prototypes have already been loaded. Thus, in the case of your code, when you call DotNetModule.GetMetadataToken(), the method is returning -1 because the member prototype for the Step you are referring to has not yet been loaded.

That means have to do a workaround for your stuff.
