.NET Assembly events

Hello,

I have a simple .NET assembly which contains an event which looks like this:



public delegate void myEventHandler(string s);


public static event myEventHandler myEvent;




Is it possible to script a listener to this or any event?

If yes, where can I find a tutorial?

    Anton,


    TestComplete can handle events of external ActiveX objects (COM servers). As for managed events, you cannot create script handlers for them, unless the tested application is a COM server.


    A possible workaround is to create a C# handler for the event in your assembly and then, from within this handler, call the needed TestComplete script or test. If you are using a Connected Application, you can run a TestComplete test by using the Connect.RunTest method. If you don't use a Connected Application, you can connect to and work with TestComplete via COM.

    A bit of additional info:



    I'm using C# (Visual Studio 2008) and TC 8.60.665.7 (JScript as script language)

    CLR Bridge settings are 32-Bit and Multi-threaded apartment.



    Another error I'm getting is that sometimes tcHostingProcess stops working after a couple of events were raised even if there were no listeners at all. TC doesn't log this error and I only notice it when I try to call another assembly function.
