Samples for module devloped in .Net and using .Net bindings

[tedvanderveen]

Please provide sample code for developing modules in C#/.Net using the .Net bindings.
Can the .Net implementations of IGatewayModule also reference other .Net assemblies? Do these DLLs then need to be included in the json configuration file?

Thanks again for the feedback Ted.

.Net Binding is under development right now, so sample code (and How To
Guide Document) is on it's way to github.

Great. Any estimate on availability? Combined with #10 maybe?

Hi Ted,

i just missed the second part of your question. "Can the .Net implementations of IGatewayModule also reference other .Net assemblies? Can the .Net implementations of IGatewayModule also reference other .Net assemblies?"

So, yes, your module in .NET (implementing IGatewayModule) can also reference other .Net Assemblies. These other doesn't need to be on the JSON configuration file. The format of the JSON file so far will have:
"module name": "csharp_hello_world",
"module path": "/path/to/dotnet_hl.dll", ==> This is the native dotnet host module that will bind our native implementation and .NET.
"args": {
"dotnet_module_path": "/path/to/csharp_module.dll", ==> This is your .NET Module that Implements the IGateway module,
"dotnet_module_entry_class": "mycsharpmodule.classname", ==> Class name that has the Create, Receive and DEstroy.
"dotnet_module_args": "module configuration" ==> This would be any configuration you woud want to use in your module.
}

Other DLLS referenced on your csharp_module.dll, for example, would follow whatever mechanism you want.

Regarding the estimate, the samples and more doc is what I'm working right now. So, you shall expect this to be on develop very soon. (depends on Reviews, etc.).

The Nuget package I don't have an estimate for that, will depends on prioritization on our backlog.

Let me know if you have more questions,

Thanks,

Angelo Ribeiro.

@aribeironovaes Thanks again! Can you contact me at ted@vanderveen.net please? I have a more general question about the lib. Or are you in a Slack community where I can contact you maybe?

[aribeironovaes]

You're welcome Ted,

No, we don't have an external Slack Community.

The best way to reach us out is from GitHub Issues or Stack Overflow (especially the iot-gateway-sdk tag). This is the best way so others can also learn from your questions/answers and also the whole team is monitoring these messages, so if I don't see a message somebody else on the team will answer that.

That said feel free to send me a message with questions, but try to ask them here, I think it's better.

Let me know,

Angelo Ribeiro.

Hi Ted,

Hopefully I was able to answer this question. I'm going ahead and close this issue. Feel free to ask more questions. You can take a look into latest version os .NET Binding (develop branch), keep in mind that since it's develop branch is can/may change, but the bulk of development is there already.

Let us know,

Angelo Ribeiro.

Thanks for the initial samples @aribeironovaes :)
