Calling Function with arguments

Post by uniworld »

We have a requirement to operate a drive from a library component.

Since the operation is same for all the drives we want to create a public class (similar to User defined function) and call the same whenever a drive needs to be operated.

As per our understanding we need to send the tag as a string (Character) to the function and then convert the same into globaltag item.

When we are passing the tag as a string we are not able to access the tag in the function in-order to change the value of the tag.

Kindly assist us in resolving the problem.

I am guessing that the tag is not within your function scope. Therefore you do not have access to the tag object. Without seeing the code you are using I can not be more specific than this. If you post your function code and how you are calling it I maybe able to help more.

There are many tutorials online that go over C# programming. C# is a language that is supported and developer by Microsoft. iX Developed uses C# and your issue sounds like it has to do with C# syntax rather than iX Developer.
