Initialise C# Class from PML

Hello PDMS masters.
I have a class in my Addin called PointE3D and wish to initialise it, but I dont want to import any dll to do it, because its already in my Addin code.
[FONT=Verdana]namespace GB_Addin
{
   [PMLNetCallable()]
   public class PointE3D
   {
       [PMLNetCallable()]
       public PointE3D()
       {[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]        }
       [PMLNetCallable()]
       public PointE3D(string Test)
       {
           MessageBox.Show(Test);
       }
   }
}
[/FONT]


But at pdms, when I try to initialise it

!test = object [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]PointE3D[/FONT][/COLOR]()

I get the following error:

[FONT=Verdana](47,15)   CP: Syntax error
In line 5 of Command/Form Input

Can I get some help in understanding where Im doing something wrong or even if is this possible?


Thanks!

Hello Gelson,

First of all, you should avoid numbers in your classes/objects names !

Then, even if your dll is already loaded, you need to specify the namespace in your PML code before trying to create an instance of your C# object:

using namespace 'YourNamespace'

Also, your C# code need an Assign method, like this:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=&][PMLNetCallable()][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=&][COLOR=#0000FF]public[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]void[/COLOR] Assign(PointE3D that)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=&]{[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=&]}[/FONT][/COLOR]

Hi L
I tried what you said, put the assign method and also started with 'using namespace...' before my command, but my result was the message: "PML: Object definition for POINTETD could not be found"
I Have changed my class name from PointE3D to POINTETD.

[assembly:PMLNetCallable()]
namespace GB_Addin
{

   [PMLNetCallable()]
   public class POINTETD
   {
       [PMLNetCallable()]
       public POINTETD()
       {
       }
     
       [PMLNetCallable()]
       public void Assign(POINTETD that)
       {
     
       }
       [PMLNetCallable()]
       private static bool Init()
       {
           return true;
       }
   }
...
}


Am I missing something else? I have tried changing the class to the same file as the main Addin class, with no success.

Aidez-moi s'il vous pla?t!

Merci!

Could you try the following PML Code ?

import 'YourDllPath'
HANDLE(1000,0)
ENDHANDLE

using namespace 'YourNamespace'
!pointETD = OBJECT POINTETD()

You can also try the import command in the Command Window to make sure it works.

Thanks L, it worked.
I made the Addin import itself on load and then the classes got available.
Thanks for the help!
