T
o write a library for dynamo in c# you need to add a reference to several libraries. The easiest way would be to use Visual Studio Package Manager, in there you type “Dynamo Visual Programming” and install the following:
A
n important thing about writing your method in dynamo is provide functionality for multiple cases. In Dynamo you deal with objects and lists which can be multi-dimensional.
Dynamo provides an attribute to allow a method to receive multi dimensional lists “IsVisibleInDynamoLibrary”
[MultiReturn(new[] { "List" })]
[IsVisibleInDynamoLibrary(true)]
public static Dictionary<string, object> ConvertToInt32(object List)
{
object returnValue = Convert.ToInt32(List);
return new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{ "List", returnValue }
};
}
[MultiReturn(new[] { "List" })]
[IsVisibleInDynamoLibrary(false)]
public static Dictionary<string, object> ConvertToInt32([ArbitraryDimensionArrayImport]IList List)
{
IList returnList = new ArrayList();
foreach (var item in List)
{
if (item is IList)
returnList.Add(ConvertToInt32((IList)item)["List"]);
else
returnList.Add(ConvertToInt32(item)["List"]);
}
return new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{ "List", returnList }
};
}
