Description
Connects an assembly and all of its classes to the Alpha Anywhere type system within a namespace.
Discussion
RegisterAssembly() connects an assembly and all of its classes to the Alpha Anywhere type system within a namespace.
Registering a .NET assembly allows you to use it as if it were a built-in Alpha Anywhere class or namespace. This type can be DIMmed in any script after the type is registered.
Once the assembly is registered, which is required once per execution of Alpha Anywhere, instances can be DIMmed for each of its classes in any script.
Example
Adding an assembly from the global assembly cache to the Xbasic type system.
Dim Assy as DotNet::AssemblyReference
Dim Services as DotNet::Services
Assy.Name = "SampleAssembly"
Assy.Version = "1.0.2004.0"
Assy.Culture = "neutral"
Assy.PublicKeyToken = "8744b20f8da049e3"
If .not. Services.RegisterAssembly("MyNameSpace", Assy)
UI_Msg_Box("Error registering assembly " + \
Assy.Name, Services.CallResult.Text)
End
End if
Dim Instance as MyNameSpace::MyClass
