Accessing the running instance of EA from C#

[sawek84]

I'd like to access the running instance of EA from C#, i.e. perform some operations on already opened file - how do I do it?

I tried something like that:
EA.AppClass App = new EA.AppClass();
App.Repository.OpenFile("C:\\Program Files\\Sparx Systems\\EA Trial\\EAExample.eap")

but it creates another instance which is disposed after my C# application is terminated.
Could anyone help me with that (maybe provide a couple of lines of code)?

Regards

To access a running instance of EA, you need to use the equivilent of the GetObject() call as shown in the VB example on the App page.  For C#, try something like this..

Code: [Select]

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
...
object obj = Marshal.GetActiveObject("EA.App");
EA.App app = obj as EA.App;
EA.Repository rep = app.Repository;
