Possible to create classic C# Code?

[Andymann]

Hi everybody,

I just came across the need to build myself a little tool. This merely consists of a Winform with a textfield. I already built it within a Ranorex CodeModule. Thing is: I'd like to run it independently from Ranorex - just a simple *.exe.

Any chance of of using the Ranorex IDE (which, in my eyes, is 'just' a hyped up visual studio) to create a binary without Ranorex-Overhead?


Best regards,
Andy

Hi,

I don't think there is a way to create a pure C# solution/project, without Ranorex references and other Ranorex-related files. Of course, you can add plain C# class file, but that's about it. It may be possible to delete all Ranorex-related files and references from the project? However, I think it would be much easier to install SharpDevelop (if you don't want to install and use full visual studio) for developing windows-based exes?

I already did my fair share of messing around (removing headers etc.) but wasn't successful. Sharpdevelop looks ... sharp ( I know, I know..) but my main problem is that I'm working with a very limited account (no downloads, no installations) and have to get around with what I have.

however, I just compiled my first *exe with notepad and csc .... it's not the funniest experience but it works.

Hi,

It seems I just found a way to create (almost) pure C# project in Ranorex. I knew I did it in the past

Just add a new project to the solution of your choice, but then instead of selecting Module >> Ranorex test suite module library, select Advanced >> and then template you need...

The project will still have referenced all Ranorex libs, but there will be no test suite, default recording or repository added to the newly created project. And if you run the project, it will just start the form or class, depending of your template selection. Hope this helps?
