Enterprise Architect Model, Authors.Count variable is not updated correctly

[mateiacd]

Hi,

I am using Enterprise Architect 12.1.0.1229

I wrote a C# add-in that reads the values of the Repository object, according to the documentation:

http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/automation_and_scripting/availableresources.html
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/automation_and_scripting/eaadd-insea_menuclick.html

I wrote:

Code: [Select]

  public void EA_MenuClick(Repository repository, string location, string menuName, string itemName)
  {
    MessageBox.Show(repository.Authors.Count.ToString());
  }

When I follow these steps:

1. Open an EAP model
2. Call my Add-in from the menu and notice the value of the Authors.Count variable
3. Add or remove an author by following from the menu:  Project | Settings | Project Types | People > Project Author(s)
4. Call my Add-in again and notice the value of  the Authors.Count variable

You will notice that the two values are identical, which is of course incorrect.

try
Repository.Authors.Refresh()
to make sure that your collections is up to date before reading the values again.

Hi Geert,

Many thanks !! The code below works correctly.

Code: [Select]

public void EA_MenuClick(Repository repository, string location, string menuName, string itemName)
  {
    repository.Authors.Refresh();
    MessageBox.Show(repository.Authors.Count.ToString());
  }
