C# Pass list of tables from Interface code to Template code

[dcrowell]

How do you pass a list of tables from Interface code to the Template code? I am using C# for both the interface and the template code. I have seen numerous examples of this with JScript and VBScript but I want to use C#.

I tried using the ListBox.SelectedObjectCollection object but I must be missing something.

Code: Select all

System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.SelectedObjectCollection colTables;
colTables = this.lboxTables.SelectedObjectCollection;
this.zeusInput[\"tables\"] = colTables;

This is the error message:

'SelectedObjectCollection': cannot reference a type through an expression; try 'System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.SelectedObjectCollection' instead

How can I make this work?

Thanks in advance.

For an example template that uses C# for both the Interface and Template code, and has a multi-select ComboBox for table selection, try the TableRelation Report. It uses the MyGeneration API for the GUI, not the .NET WinForms API, but it should help.

Open MyGeneration, click the Globe icon at the top of the Template Browser pane. Navigate under the DNP.PluginExamples namespace. Right-click the TableRelation Report, and click Save.

David, thanks. That is what I was looking for.
