With the release of TS4.5 there is new way of .net invocation.

The new look of the .net panel was first strange to me.

I was always searching constructor stuff for defining a handle
But after understanding. It is very easy use.

 

Add especially the feature with the dots is pretty good.
It seems you are doing your stuff in programming language like VS.
But this leads to a “missing” feature. Which is not possible in VS. 

In TS 4.5 you may store every return value in a variable.

If your invocation consisting of many “.” calls. You only see the return of the bold function.
So this feature makes some return values “invisible”.
Maybe a tree or using some other colours should make them visible again
