Calling User Functions From Compiled Script

Post by hans.dominic » Wed Aug 22, 2018 9:14 am

Hi,

I have scripts (all user codes) and compiled to EXE and each of those scripts has a common user function. Now if I'll be having some changes on that user function, I have to re-compile all those scripts which is really time consuming because there are at least 2K scripts. Can someone give me an idea on how to have a better solution for this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I was about to suggest you to build your custom methods in a dll and reference this dll in all your projects. Then it should be required to rebuild just the dll. Something as described here:

Anyway, could you please share your solution? I'm sure, it may help other forum members ;)

Thanks for your suggestion.

Actually it is similar to what you have suggested. I just don't know how to create custom DLLs so I just compiled the project (EXE) which contains all custom methods and reference this to my projects.

Hi,

Your solution is basically the same as I suggested ;) Just for future, you can select the type of app in Project settings >> Application tab. Class Library would turn the project to dll...
