Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Connect to currently running EA app - C#?

« on: December 08, 2012, 07:23:42 pm »

Hi,

I am using the automation interface to connect to EA and extract various pieces of information from the repository (using C#).

I would like to connect to the current instance: from reading the docs, I should just be able to do:

Code: [Select]

EA.App app = new EA.App();
 string cs = app.Repository.ConnectionString;
But cs is empty; if I call any methods on the repository it complains I haven't opened a file yet. It seems it hasn't connected to the current instance.

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Mike.
