Sequence File Translator in .NET

[maxmont]

Hi All,

I've developed a sequence file translator in C# (.NET).

But TS can only call LV, CVI or C DLL for translator.

So I had to develop a C DLL wrapper which call my .NET translator.

I don't understand why TS can't directly call a .NET assembly.

In TS2019, it's the same thing.

It would be good to add this feature in a future release or update.

Thanks

Hi all,

I migrate my development on TS2022 and I see that there is not translator in .NET management.

I quite surprise that this plugin feature doesn't support .NET assembly.

All others plugin system manage that (report, property loader, ...)

I have just stumbled over the concept of the translator some weeks ago.... and find it very useful!

since the documentation is also very.... limited, I suppose NI keeps this as a legacy interface and won't update it if there is no architectural or security related reason to do so

I sincerly hope, it doesn't become deprecated eventually...

Thanks for your feedback. We currently have no plans to deprecate the sequence file translator.

Do you happen to have a documentation about when thos callbacks are called? And their parameters?

I was not able to figure this put completely

Cheers
