problems using " EXEC_ADD_IN "

[bachus]

Hello everyone,

I struggling on this for a few days.
Using the Code template editor, I've seen that its possible to call an add-in function.

I have already made my personal add-in in C#, and it is correctly installed.

My function is just returning a string (to check if it was working...)

Code: [Select]

public string invert_string(EA.Repository ElementfromEA, String string_to_invert)
        {
            string_to_invert = "inside";
            return string_to_invert;
        }

In EA I'm calling it like this:
$tmp = %EXEC_ADD_IN("my_addin", "invert_string", "")%

Then generating the code, I got an error:  invert_string: Invalid Parameter(s)

Can you give me an hint on how to make it work ?
Or an example ?

Best regards

Hello,

Two quesions please:

1. Why do you send three strings to the method?
    The method signature requires two arguments.

2. Why do you send a string as the first parameter? As far as I understand you ought to sent a repository, not a string.

Hope this help, please update.

The parameters are ok. See here: http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1395652745/1#1

So it must be something else.

I once used it, but it's too long ago.

The problem is the method signature in your C# code.  See:

Sample method, and addin call for your refernce

Code: [Select]

public string GetObjectType(EA.Repository Repository, object args)
        {
                /* Decode Arguments */
                ArrayList ary = new ArrayList((ICollection)args);
                if (ary.Count < 1)
                    return "";
                string sConnGUID = ary[0].ToString();
......
}

Addin- Call

Code: [Select]

$result = %EXEC_ADD_IN("MyAddin","GetObjectType",$GUID)%
