Re: How to unload .NET assemblies
FYI: It works perfectly if tcHostingProcess.exe is still running, but throws an error if it has already stopped. To avoid this, these two lines of code should do the trick: tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq tcHostingProcess.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "tcHostingProcess.exe">NUL if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" taskkill /f /im tcHostingProcess.exe25Views1like0CommentsRe: How to unload .NET assemblies
Thank you very much. I agree with you that killing a process is not the most elegant solution. But it seems that there is no official way to terminate tcHostingProcess.exe directly from TestComplete. Your suggestion would actually help me, because then I can create a postbuild event in Visual Studio that first terminates tcHostingProcess.exe and then copies the DLL to the target directory.28Views1like0CommentsHow to unload .NET assemblies
Hej, I am using a .dotNet DLL that I have integrated into TestComplete via the CLR Bridge. Example: function DataConn(User : string, Pass : string, Host : string, Group : string, Query : string) : string; var CHelpers, Ret; begin CHelpers := dotNET.HelpersClassLibrary.CHelpers.zctor(); Ret := CHelpers.DataConnection(User,Pass,Host,Group,Query); CHelpers.Dispose(); if Ret.Success then result := Ret.Rueck.OleValue else Log.Error(Ret.Errormessage.OleValue); end; My .dotNET DLL is derived from IDisposable and implements a public function Dispose. I call this last from TestComplete, thereby releasing all resources used. If I call a function from the DLL once, I can no longer replace the DLL with a newer version because it now remains open by tcHostingProcess. I then have to completely close the TestComplete project each time, replace the DLL, and then reload the project. This Calling Functions From .NET Assemblies | TestComplete Documentation only describes how the assembly is loaded into the helper hosting process. However, it does not mention how to release the assembly again. Has anyone had a similar experience and can give me a tip? Thank you, HenrySolved176Views0likes12CommentsRe: New to TestComplete
