Hi,

I have an element within the repository that is referenced many times within different C# methods within the same class. I would like to create a variable for the element stored in the repository.

An example of what I am trying to accomplish is below, although not working

Button myButton = myrepo.ButtonOK;
myButton.Click()



Thanks for any help.

Hi,

You should be able to do so, are you getting an error or can you describe what is not working?
I would also suggest taking a look at the following links, there it is shown how you can access your repository via Code: Code Examples, Lesson 7: Code Modules.

Here is what I've tried:

---------------------------------------------
TruCareRegression.TruCare_Admin_Main_Repository repo = new TruCare_Admin_Main_Repository();

Ranorex.Button button_CreateQueue = repo.WebDocument_TruAdmin_Application.All_Queues.Button_CreateQueue;

button_CreateQueue.Click();
--------------------------------------------

When compiling, I'm getting:
A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'TruCareRegression.Modules.Queues.mCreateQueueMandatory.repo' (CS0236) - C:\Ranorex\5.0\TruCareRegression\TruCareRegression\Modules\Queues\mCreateQueueMandatory.cs:35,43


Can you provide an example of how the above code should look? I looked through the code example but they didn't help.

Thanks,
Eric

Try to use an Instance of your repository as mentioned in the link Markus provided in his last post:

public class AddCredentialEntry : ITestModule  
{  
    // Repository object to access UI Elements  
    MyFirstTestProjectRepository MyRepo = MyFirstTestProjectRepository.Instance;  
      
    /// Constructs a new instance.  
    public AddCredentialEntry()  
    {  
        // Do not delete - a parameterless constructor is required!  
    }  
      
    void ITestModule.Run()  
    {  
        Mouse.DefaultMoveTime = 300;  
        Keyboard.DefaultKeyPressTime = 100;  
        Delay.SpeedFactor = 1.0;  
          
        // Click 'Add Entry' Button MainMenu  
        MyRepo.MainForm.Edit.Click();  
        ...

Hi,

My example has the repository instance already set. I wish to set a variable to a specific button element within the repository.

The problem is setting a C# variable to an element in the repository.

Hi,

as I can see it seems like the problems comes not with setting the variable, but with trying to access the not-static variable "repo" within a static method.
Please try to find out where this access is located and fix it.

Kind regards,
