Call .net function from expression

[pitol]

Hi,

I would like to know if it possible to call .net function from expression step.

Currently to call function from .net I'm using Action step with .NET adapter.

What I would like to do is to do the same but in expression (for example, post expression of some step). Is it possible to do it?

No

Seriously? No way to do that? Damn...

Thanks anyway 🙂

To elaborate on this a little:

No, you cannot call .NET assemblies (or other code modules) within an expression.

There is one exception since some TestStand versions: You can call the TS API (ActiveX) within expressions. So if the purpose of your request is limited to TS API functions, the answer should have been "Yes" for up-to-date TestStand.

Little side note: Maybe you can create custom steptypes calling into the .NET assembly as "Post-Step Substep". This could provide the user of your steptype with functionality similar to what you are currently looking for.
