Create a generic List from C# dll in python script

Using my C# dll in TestComplete as CLR Bridge and want to create a python script routine where I initialize the settings.SpecificValue with a List of SpecificValueClass Objects. Does someone know how...

    typeListOf = dotNET.System.Type.GetType("System.Collections.Generic.List`1")
objType = dotNET.namespace.SpecificValueClass.zctor().GetType()
paramTypes = dotNET.System.Array.CreateInstance(dotNET.System.Type.GetType("System.Type"), 1)
paramTypes.SetValue(objType, 0)
typeListOfString = typeListOf.MakeGenericType(paramTypes)

newValue = dotNET.namespace.WattPeakValues.zctor()

newValue.ID = 1
settings.SpecificValue.Add(newValue)

     

     

    Got it to work! You have to programm the part that usually C# makes for you with the <T> ... little confusing but it works now

    Another question, would it be possible / good to use TestLeft in this case so I can integrate the code? We never used TestLeft before but from what I have looked over, it might help in this case

      Hi,

       

      > would it be possible / good to use TestLeft in this case

      With TestLeft you have all your test code written in .Net (or Java), so you have direct access to all .Net infrastructure and functionality.

      Note however, that TestLeft supports Desktop and Web only and not all technoligies supported by TestComplete. So you should check if TestLeft supports development environment/technologies required for your tested application.
