Is there a 'workProc' in the C# manager API ?

[fmulder]

I've developed drivers before and there was a HWService::workproc() where you could implement recurring tasks (like looking for incoming data on a serial port)

Code: Select all

void _TEMPLATE_HWService::workProc()
{

}

Is there something similar in the C# API or can I just do the following code at the bottom of my main():

Code: Select all

static void main()
{
  // .. (do all the init and connect stuff)

            while(true)
            {
                Thread.Sleep( 2000 );

                // Get Access to the ProcessValues
                var writeValues = myManager.ProcessValues;

                writeValues.SetDpValue(
                    new Tuple<string, OaVariant>("mydp.element1", 1),
                    new Tuple<string, OaVariant>("mydp.element2", 2)
                );

            }

}

I'm planning a C# manager to do some database work and would like to dpSet() a status every second.

Hope anyone can help

I would use a Timer to call a function every second.
