Playing rxrec files from C#

Post by TCs » Tue Jan 03, 2017 1:38 pm

Hello

How can I play, using the API, a given "rxrec" file created by the recorder?

I noticed that if I use the studio, it generated cs files automatically, but that is not what I want. I get a path to "rxrec" file in rumtime and I want to start and play the recording.


Thanks for your help!

You need to build the solution and run the executable that is generated there. I don't think you can play an rxRec file outside of Rx Studio without the context of a test suite.

Could I ask what it is in general you're trying to accomplish? We're pretty good at coming up with solutions.

Since Ranorex is based on the .net ecosystem, the .cs file is what gets executed by Ranorex. The rxrec file contains meta information that is used by Ranorex to keep track of everything.
