Async PDM API

Julien Maulbault Feb 20, 2017 8:27 AM

I coded an addin for EPDM in C#.

In this addin, there is a feature pretty long. So I' would like display the feature progress.

To report the progressing, I use IProgress. The long task run async and the UI still responsive.

If I do a sandalone programme, referenced to PDM, it works like a charm. But I run it via IEdmAddIn5. It doesn't.

So before to go deeper, is it possible to run async stuff with pdm addin ?

Thank you

If you are using async/await I suppose your are on Framework 4.5 (unless you are using this package: NuGet Gallery | Microsoft Async 1.0.168). If I'm not mistaken PDM is still on 4.0 framework so this might be the reason. You may switch to BackgroundWorker or Threading to implement async operations in PDM add-in.

  Make sure your async method return something so it doesn't get lost. Using void on async method is not a good idea.

It's possible but it depends on how you implement your code. Create a new vault instance in your async method. If you're using the vault instance passed via OnCmd it will block.
