Use objects from the DotNetCalls class to configure and obtain calls for a module the .NET Adapter uses. Use the DotNetModule.Calls property to obtain the collection of calls for a module. Returns a reference to an item at the specified index in the collection. Specifies the zero-based index of the item to retrieve. Returns the number of items in the collection. Creates a new DotNetCall object and inserts it into the collection at the specified index. Specifies the zero-based index at which to insert the new DotNetCall object into the collection. Removes the DotNetCall object at the specified index from the DotNetCalls collection. Specifies the zero-based index of the DotNetCall object to remove from the DotNetCalls collection. Removes all items after, but not including, the specified index from the collection. Specifies the zero-based index after which this method removes all DotNetCall objects from the collection. Removes all items from the collection. Use objects from the DotNetCall class to specify and obtain .NET Adapter-specific information about the code module that steps or step type substeps execute. Typically, you use this class only when you are writing a sequence editor. You can use the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method to load the prototype for the call. Returns the signature of the specified .NET member. Use the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method to specify a signature for a call. Returns the DotNetParameters collection that contains a list of the current parameters used as inputs and outputs for the corresponding DotNetCall object. Use the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method to change the member specification and parameters for a DotNetCall object. Call the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method to specify a call before accessing this property. Returns a value that indicates whether the DotNetCall object prototype is incompatible with the actual prototype of the .NET member in the assembly. If this property cannot determine the prototype information because the assembly is not loadable, the class does not exist, or no member with the specified name exists, this property returns False. This property returns True only when a member with the specified name exists in the specified assembly and class, but does not match the specified prototype. Returns True if the .NET Adapter successfully loaded the prototype for the specified call. This method returns False if the adapter cannot find the signature or member name. This method loads the parameters and prototype information for a .NET member given the signature or name of the member. This method replaces the obsolete DotNetModule.LoadPrototypeFromMetadataToken method. This method is the primary mechanism for specify DotNetCall member prototypes. TestStand finds the member in the assembly that matches the given signature (or member name if you pass True for the allowMemberNameMatching parameter) and loads the prototype while setting all parameters and member information for the call. Use the suffix - Get or - Set to specify a get or set property or field operation. When you specify a property or field, you can omit the suffix and TestStand attempts to find a match by giving priority to properties with a - Get suffix. This behavior occurs even when you pass False for the allowMemberNameMatching parameter. Note: If you specify a member name instead of a full signature when overloads exist for the member (and you pass True for the allowMemberNameMatching parameter), TestStand loads the prototype of the first overload in sorted order. Use the following guidelines to specify a signature string:     * For methods and constructors—Specify the method or class name followed by the data types of the parameters in parentheses, separated by commas. For example:

MyClass(Int32, System.String[] ByRef)
MyMethod(MyNamespace.MyClass ByRef, Double, Int32[,] ByRef)

Use the DotNetAdapter.GetMemberNames method to obtain a list of signatures for a particular assembly and class or to review more examples of the format for signatures.    * For Create Remote Object calls—To create a remote object, pass Create Remote Object(System.String). The .NET Adapter treats the System.String portion as a parameter and uses it to specify the universal remote identifier (URI) of the server.    * For Use Existing Objects calls—To use an existing object reference, pass Use Existing Object(MyNameSpace.MyClass), such as Use Existing Object(System.Collections.Queue). The .NET Adapter treats the class name as a parameter and uses it to specify the TestStand variable that holds the object reference you want to use.    * For properties and fields—If a property or field does not have an indexer, specify the property or field name followed by the - Get or - Set suffix to specify the type of operation to perform, as in MyProperty - Get or MyField - Set. If a property or field does have an indexer, add a space after the property name and add square brackets with the indexer types specified in a comma-separated list, as in:

MyPropertyWithIndexers [Int32, System.String ByRef] - Get.    * For parameter strings—For basic types other than System.String, such as 32-bit integers and doubles, omit the System. prefix. For arrays, include the square brackets with commas inside to specify the number of dimensions. For ByRef and output parameters, include the string  ByRef, including the initial space, after the parameter data type.

Signatures for the First Call in the Collection

You can set the first call in the collection only to a constructor or static member, or to specify to create a remote object or use an existing object.

Example Signature Formats for System.String Class Members

    * Simple member name—Replace. No overload exists for this method so the adapter requires only a simple name (as long as you pass True for the allowMemberNameMatching parameter).    * Full signature with parameter types—Split(Char[], Int32, System.StringSplitOptions). Overloads exist for this method, so the adapter requires the full signature to choose a specific overload (even if you pass True for the allowMemberNameMatching parameter). Note that Char and Int32 types do not have the System. prefix before the type name because they are basic types.    * Property simple member name—Length. This property is read-only so the adapter does not require the - Get suffix because Get is the only option.    * Property—Length - Get. If this property has both public read access and public write access, the adapter requires the - Get or - Set suffix to specify the operation to perform. However, if no suffix is provided, the adapter chooses - Get by default.    * Constructor—String(Char[], Int32, Int32). Multiple constructors exist so the adapter requires a full signature to specify a specific constructor. If only one public constructor exists, you can pass String as the signature (as long as you pass True for the allowMemberNameMatching parameter). Specifies the signature or member name of the member with the prototype you want to load. If you want to pass a member name instead of a full signature, you must also pass True for the allowMemberNameMatching parameter. Specifies whether to allow matching simply by member name instead of requiring a match to the full signature. If you pass False for this parameter, the .NET Adapter loads the prototype only if the signatureOrMemberName parameter exactly matches the full signature of a member. If you pass True for this parameter, the adapter first looks for a full signature match to the signatureOrMemberName parameter. If the adapter cannot find a match, it looks for a member name that matches the signatureOrMemberName parameter. To choose a specific overload, you must specify a signature instead of a member name. Refer to the Remarks section of this topic for more information about specifying a signature. Specifies one or more LoadPrototypeOptions constants. Use the bitwise-OR operator to specify multiple flags. Returns the UnmappedArgumentValues collection that contains a list of the arguments not used as inputs or outputs for the corresponding DotNetCall object. For DotNetModule objects, use this property instead of the Module.UnmappedArgumentValues property. When you use the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method to change a DotNetCall object prototype and pass the LoadPrototypeOption_MapExistingParameters option, TestStand attempts to map the current DotNetCall arguments to the new prototype by looking for matching argument names and data types and by matching argument positions and data types. If TestStand cannot assign an argument to the new prototype or if you do not pass the LoadPrototypeOption_MapExistingParameters option, the argument is added the current collection. TestStand does not clear the collection when you load a new prototype. Use the UnmappedArgumentValues.Clear method to clear the collection after you call the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method. Returns True if the DotNetCall object specification matches the actual member found in the corresponding class and assembly. Otherwise, returns False. This method also returns False when the .NET Adapter cannot load the assembly or the class or member name does not exist. If this method returns False, this parameter returns the explanation. Stores the given partial signature for the .NET call as the member name, but does not attempt to actually load the prototype. Instead, this method clears parameters and sets the DotNetCall.MemberType property to DotNetMember_DoNotCall. Use this method to store signature information on a DotNetCall object without trying to actually load prototype for the call. For example, if the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method cannot load the prototype for a given signature, you can store the signature on the DotNetCall object by calling this method. Specifies the partial signature to store on the DotNetCall object. Returns the index of the DotNetCall object in the DotNetCalls collection on the DotNetModule object. Launches Microsoft Visual Studio to create code for the .NET call. For DotNetModule objects, use this method instead of the Module.CreateCode method. This method creates a method in the class the DotNetCall.ClassName property specifies. This method uses the DotNetCall.MemberName property as the name of the method to create. The content of the code depends on the code templates configured for the step type of the step that contains the DotNetCall object. Use the Module.CanCreateCode property to determine whether this step can create code. If you do not specify any files for the DotNetModule.ProjectFilePath or DotNetModule.SourceFilePath properties, call this method to prompt the user to specify the project and source files. The adapter stores the specified project file in the step, but the source file you select applies only to the current .NET call. When you call this method, you might receive additional prompts to determine whether any of the following conditions exist:     * Multiple versions of Visual Studio exist on the computer and you select the Always Prompt for Version option from the Version of Visual Studio to Use for Create and Edit Code ring control in the .NET Adapter Configuration dialog box.    * Multiple versions of Visual Studio exist on the computer and you select the use the Version that Matches the Project File option from the Version of Visual Studio to Use for Create and Edit Code ring control in the .NET Adapter Configuration dialog box, and TestStand cannot match the version of the file.    * A method already exists with the same signature.    * The specified solution does not contain the specified project.    * The specified project does not contain the specified source file. Specifies whether the DotNetCall object was modified. Attempts to launch Microsoft Visual Studio to edit the code associated with the .NET call. For DotNetModule objects, use this method instead of the Module.EditCode method. Use the Module.CanCreateCode property to determine whether this step can edit code. If you do not specify any files for the DotNetModule.ProjectFilePath or DotNetModule.SourceFilePath properties, call this method to prompt the user to specify the project and source files. The adapter stores the specified project file in the step, but the source file you select applies only to the current .NET call. When you call this method, you might receive additional prompts to determine whether any of the following conditions exist:     * Multiple versions of Visual Studio exist on the computer and you select the Always Prompt for Version option from the Version of Visual Studio to Use for Create and Edit Code ring control in the .NET Adapter Configuration dialog box.    * Multiple versions of Visual Studio exist on the computer and you select the use the Version that Matches the Project File option from the Version of Visual Studio to Use for Create and Edit Code ring control in the .NET Adapter Configuration dialog box, and TestStand cannot match the version of the file.    * The specified solution does not contain the specified project.    * The specified project does not contain the specified source file. Attempts to reload prototype information for the selected member, including parameter types and return value types. For each parameter, this method updates in/out information, struct definitions, and array dimensions, if applicable. If the .NET Adapter cannot find an assembly, class, or member anywhere in the call chain up to and including the current call, this method returns an error. Specifies one or more LoadPrototypeOptions constants. Use the bitwise-OR operator to specify multiple flags. Returns the location of the assembly and pathname if the assembly is located in a file. This method returns the strong name if the assembly is located in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). Returns the assembly that contains the type information for the class that corresponds to the DotNetCall.ClassName property. All calls before this call in the DotNetCalls collection must be valid before calling this method. Returns a value that indicates whether the assembly is in a file or in the GAC. Returns the pathname if the assembly is located in a file. This parameter specifies the strong name if the assembly is located in the GAC. Obtains assembly information for a subsequent call based on the return value for the current call and all previous calls in the call chain. This method returns the location of the assembly and the pathname, if the assembly is located in a file, or the strong name, if the assembly is located in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). If the current or any previous DotNetCall object in the call chain does not have a return value or does not return a callable type, this method returns an error. Returns a value that indicates whether the assembly is located in a file or in the GAC. Returns the pathname if the assembly is located in a file. This parameter specifies the strong name if the assembly is located in the GAC. Returns the name of the class on which to perform the call. This property is based on the DotNetModule.ClassName property if the current DotNetCall object is the first call on the step. Otherwise, this property is based on the return value of the previous DotNetCall object in the chain of calls. Returns the help string the assembly associates with the class for this call. If you add a new call to the call chain after the current call, this property returns the class name the new call uses. If the current call does not have a return value of a type on which TestStand supports making another call, this property returns an empty string. Returns the type of call the current DotNetCall object is configured to make. Use the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method to change the member specifications for a DotNetCall object. Returns certain attributes of the member the DotNetCall object calls. Use the DotNetCall.LoadPrototypeFromSignature method to change the member specifications for a DotNetCall object.

Use objects from the ActiveXAdapter class to configure and obtain ActiveX/COM Adapter-specific information about the module adapter. Call Engine.GetAdapter or Engine.GetAdapterByKeyName to obtain a reference to the adapter object. To access the properties and methods of the Adapter class, use AsAdapter to obtain an object. Returns the underlying module Adapter object that represents the ActiveXAdapter object. Use the underlying module Adapter object to access properties and methods common to all adapters. Specifies whether the ActiveX/COM Adapter uses late binding or early binding. When you specify the module for an ActiveX/COM step, TestStand stores the IDs and names of the object and member the step calls. During execution, the ActiveX/COM Adapter must invoke the ActiveX Automation server and specify which object to create and which member to call. You can use one of the following options to specify how the server performs operations on the objects:     * Early Binding—Configures the module adapter to use IDs.    * Late Binding—Configures the module adapter to use names. While early binding is more efficient, it requires that the IDs for objects and methods exposed by automation servers do not change. If you are developing an automation server in an application development environment (ADE) that does not provide direct control over IDs, National Instruments recommends using late binding during development so inadvertent changes to IDs do not invalidate the module information for the step. When you finish developing the automation server, set the Use Late Binding option in the ActiveX/COM Adapter Configuration dialog box to False and update the IDs in the client sequences. To update the IDs in the client sequences, edit the module information for each step that references the server or select Tools»Update Automation Identifiers in each sequence file that contains ActiveX/COM steps that reference the server. If you are using a third-party or release version of an automation server, or if you are developing a server in an ADE in which you can control the server IDs, National Instruments recommends disabling the Use Late Binding option. When you configure the ActiveX/COM Adapter to use late binding, the adapter uses the stored names to determine the proper IDs to use at run time. The ActiveX/COM Adapter looks at the most recent version of type information for the server. Servers can also specify type information in different languages. If the ActiveX/COM Adapter cannot find a version of the type information that uses the system default language ID, it attempts to find type information that uses the English or Neutral language IDs, in that order. Specifies that the ActiveX/COM Adapter requests the operating system to unload in-process (DLL) servers after every execution. The operating system only unloads servers you are no longer using. Disable this option to improve execution speed. Specifies that the Specify Module dialog box for the ActiveX/COM Adapter includes ActiveX controls in the list of available servers. When you update the interface for an ActiveX Automation server and the object and member identifiers have changed, you must respecify any step that uses the server. Use the UpdateAutomationIDs method to update the identifiers in a sequence file based on the name of the object or member. For steps that create an object, this method updates the object identifiers CLSID and IID. For steps that call a method or property, this method updates the member identifier MEMBERID. This method applies only when you configure the ActiveX/COM Adapter to use early binding. Specifies a reference to the sequence file that contains ActiveX steps to update. Returns the number of steps the method updated. Returns the number of steps the method failed to update. When a syntax error exists, this parameter returns an error message describing the type of error. Returns the list of ActiveX Automation servers registered on this computer. (Value: 0x2) (Value: 0x0) (Value: 0x1) Use objects from the CommonCAdapter class to configure and obtain common information about the LabWindows/CVI and C/C++ DLL Adapters. To access the properties and methods of the Adapter class, use the CommonCAdapter.AsAdapter method to obtain an object.

You can set this property to a supported value of the VisualStudioDTEVersions constants or to the programmatic identifier of the DTE version you want to use. Specifies the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment (DTE) version the C/C++ DLL Adapter uses when debugging into code modules when more than one version of Visual Studio is installed. If you have only one version of Visual Studio installed, the C/C++ DLL Adapter always uses that version for debugging. You can set this property to a supported value of the VisualStudioDTEVersions constants or to the programmatic identifier of the DTE version you want to use. Note: The VisualStudioDTEVersion_MatchProject constant is not a valid value for this property. Creates and returns a new DllModule object. Use this method to create a DllModule object that you can execute without using a step, sequence, or execution. Use objects from the CVIAdapter class to configure and obtain LabWindows/CVI Adapter-specific information about the module adapter. Call the Engine.GetAdapter or Engine.GetAdapterByKeyName method to obtain a reference to the adapter object. To access the properties and methods of the Adapter class, use the CVIAdapter.AsAdapter method to obtain an object. Specifies which code templates to use during code creation.

Use the adapter to access properties and methods common to all adapters. You can specify the test execution mode as in-process or out-of-process for the LabWindows/CVI Adapter. When the adapter runs tests in-process, it executes them in the same process as the sequence editor or the user interface you are running. When the adapter runs tests out-of-process, it executes them in an external instance of the LabWindows/CVI development environment. If this property is True, the tests run out-of-process. If the property is False, the tests run in-process. When you execute code modules in the same process as the sequence editor or user interface, the adapter loads and runs code modules directly without using the LabWindows/CVI development environment. The LabWindows/CVI Adapter can launch two different copies of LabWindows/CVI. The adapter uses one copy to execute test modules. By default, the adapter opens <TestStand>\AdapterSupport\CVI\tscvirun.prj in the copy of LabWindows/CVI that is executing the code modules. You can use the LabWindows/CVI Adapter Configuration dialog box to change which project the adapter uses to run code modules. The adapter uses the other copy of LabWindows/CVI to allow you to edit the projects you use to create DLLs, static libraries, and object files.

The expression to evaluate at run time. Specifies that LabVIEW reserves each VI to run when TestStand loads the VI. This property eliminates the need to use permanent reference VIs for sharing between step modules. When a VI is reserved for execution, references that it creates during execution remain valid until the VI is unreserved. VIs that LabVIEW reserves take less time to call, but you cannot edit them in LabVIEW unless you click the Edit VI button in the Edit LabVIEW VI Call dialog box or select Edit Code from the context menu of the calling step. TestStand unreserves a VI under the following circumstances:     * When you select File»Unload All Modules from the File menu.    * When the VI is unloaded based on a sequence file or step unload options.    * When you open a VI for editing from within TestStand. You can create a reference in a VI called by one step in a sequence, use the reference in a VI called by a second step, and close the reference in a third step. For example, you can create a file refnum from Open File, use the reference in Read File or Write File, and close the reference using Close File when you no longer need the reference. If you set the Unload Option for a step that calls a VI to Unload After Step Executes or Unload When Precondition Fails, the LabVIEW references the step creates might be destroyed on completion of the step. If you do not reserve VIs for execution, you can use the permanent reference VIs to maintain LabVIEW references between steps.

Call the Module.LoadPrototype method before you access this property. Collection of parameters. Call this method to direct the ActiveXModule to update type library information it stores internally. The ActiveXModule stores the type library information of the server specified by ActiveXModule.ServerId internally. The ActiveXModule uses this type library information when you access properties and methods of ActiveXModule or Module. For example, when you call Module.LoadPrototype the ActiveXModule uses this type library information to read the prototype of a property or method. The ActiveXModule obtains this type library information the first time you access a property or method that needs it. Use this method to force the ActiveXModule to update the type library information if the type library information might have changed. When you call this method, the ActiveXModule updates the type library information only if the type library has been modified on disk since the last time the ActiveXModule read the type library. Returns True if the ActiveXModule updates the type library information. Use objects from the ActiveXParameters class to configure and obtain parameters for a module that uses the ActiveX/COM Adapter.

Returns a localized string that describes the ActiveX data type for the parameter. The display value of the data type of the parameter. Returns a value that indicates whether the parameter is input, output, or both. Refer to ActiveXParameterDirections for all the possible values. For input parameters that have default values, optional input parameters, and output parameters, you can leave the ActiveXParameter.ValueExpr property empty. Otherwise, you must specify the name of a variable, parameter, or property. Specifies that the parameter must use the default value when available. Holds a data item you associate with the parameter object. Typically, you do not use this property. Returns the valid types that this parameter can evaluate to. You can pass the value of this property to the validEvaluationTypes parameter of the Expression.ValidateEvaluationType method to determine whether the value of the ActiveXParameter.ValueExpr property contains errors. If you are using an ExpressionEdit control to display the value of the ActiveXParameter.ValueExpr property, pass the value of this property to the ExpressionEdit.SetValidEvaluationTypes method. Returns the name of the enumeration type for a parameter that is an enumeration. Returns the enumeration constants for a parameter that is an enumeration. The property objects in the array that this method returns have a name and value that corresponds to the name and value of the enumeration constant. Pass the return value of this method as the additionalConstants parameter of Expression.ValidateEvaluationType when checking the ActiveXParameter.ValueExpr property for errors. If you are using an ExpressionEdit control to specify the ActiveXParameter.ValueExpr property, pass the return value of this method to ExpressionEdit.SetAdditionalEvaluationConstants to direct the ExpressionEdit control to recognize the enumeration constants. Returns an array of property objects where each property object represents an enumeration value. Returns a display string that represents the default value defined for the parameter. This property is True if the parameter has the COM optional attribute. Use this property to determine whether the argument value expression is optional. You do not have to specify an optional value expression to call the module successfully. Value expressions for return values, output parameters, and parameters with the COM optional attribute are optional. Use this property to determine whether the ActiveX Adapter ignores the argument value expression when it calls the module. The adapter ignores the argument value expression for parameters that use default values. Indicates if the TestStand enumeration data type of the argument conflicts with the definition of the corresponding enum parameter in the code module. The primary purpose of this method is to support error reporting. Therefore, cases where the mapping is not well defined, for example when the argument expression is empty, are not considered invalid. If an empty expression is considered an error condition, the application must check for it separately. This method does not load the specified assembly. The method relies on the type information stored for the parameter when the module was last specified. Returns true if the parameter in the code module is an enum, the argument expression is valid and non-empty, and the mapping of the argument to the parameter in the code module is invalid. Returns false otherwise. If the mapping is invalid, reasonNotValid contains an error message explaining why the type definitions do not match. If the mapping is valid, reasonNotValid is set to an empty string. Use objects from the CommonCModule class to specify and obtain common information for the LabWindows/CVI and C/C++ DLL code modules that steps or step type substeps execute. Use the Step.Module property to obtain a reference to a CommonCModule object. To access the properties and methods of a specific module class, query the Module object for the interface of the module-specific interface you want to acquire. Typically, you use this class only when you are writing a sequence editor. To access the properties and methods of the Module class, use the CommonCModule.AsModule method to obtain an object. To access the properties and methods of a specific module class, query the CommonCModule object for the interface of the module-specific interface you want to acquire.

When True, specifies that all array parameters of the LabVIEW Module must match the corresponding LabVIEW control or indicator in size for each dimension. There is a known issue in TestStand that causes the array parameters in a code module to have the dimensions transposed compared to the corresponding LabVIEW control or indicator. For example, if the LabVIEW array has a size of [2][4][1], then the corresponding TestStand parameter would have a size of [1][4][2] when using default values for the parameter. This issue also causes array data to be incorrectly transposed when TestStand passes the data to LabVIEW. Use MatchArrayParametersToLabVIEWArrayDimensions to correct this behavior on a per-step basis. This property affects the processing of all array parameters in the code module. When MatchArrayParametersToLabVIEWArrayDimensions is True, the TestStand array parameter and the LabVIEW array have the same size for default values, and the data at each index of the array in TestStand and LabVIEW will be the same when passing arrays during execution.

Indicates whether the argument you specify for a .NET struct or struct array parameter is valid by checking the struct passing information for any custom data types used to ensure that it matches the struct definition stored when you specified the module. Note: This method does not load the assembly you specify. The method relies on the struct information stored for the parameter when the module was last specified. Returns True when the parameter is a struct or struct array, the argument expression is valid and non-empty, and the argument or struct mapping of the argument is invalid. In all other cases, this method returns False. When this method returns True, this parameter returns the reason why the argument is invalid. Returns the .NET name for the data type of the parameter. This property is similar to the DotNetParameter.DisplayType property, which contains the TestStand type followed by the .NET type name in parentheses.

For the following .NET types, the DotNetParameter.TypeName property omits the System namespace prefix: Boolean, Byte, Char, Double, Int16, Int32, Int64, IntPtr, SByte, Single, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, and UIntPtr. Indicates if the TestStand container or enumeration data type of the argument conflicts with the definition of the corresponding struct or enum parameter in the code module. The primary purpose of this method is to support error reporting. Therefore, cases where the mapping is not well defined, for example when the argument expression is empty, are not considered invalid. If an empty expression is considered an error condition, the application must check for it separately. This method does not load the specified assembly.
