Dynamo Samples

A collection of samples demonstrating how to develop libraries for Dynamo.

These samples make use of the Dynamo NuGet packages. NuGet should take care of restoring these packages if they are not available on your system at build time.

Building the Samples

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2022
• .NET8

Instructions

• Clone the repository.
• Choose a branch:
  • The master branch of Dynamo Samples corresponds to the master branch of Dynamo. To build against a specific version, choose that version's branch or tag. i.e. 0.8.0, 0.9.0, etc.
• Open DynamoSamples.sln with Visual Studio.
• Build using the Debug/Any CPU configuration.
• The dynamo_package folder at the root of the repository will now have the built libraries. The Dynamo Samples folder in that directory can be copied directly to your Dynamo packages directory:C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo Core\<version>\packages.
• To install the sample view extension the SampleViewExtension\bin\debug folder (or release) should contain
  • SampleViewExtension.dll which should be copied to your root Dynamo build location
  • SampleViewExtension_ViewExtensionDefinition which should be copied to the viewExtensions folder inside your root Dynamo build location
• Run Dynamo. You should find SampleLibraryUI and SampleLibraryZeroTouch categories in your library and the View tab inside of Dynamo should now contain Show View Extension Sample Window.

dynamosamples's Issues

Sample update -> 1.x.x.x

When will the DynamoSamples be updated to the new dynamocore (1.x.x.x)?

DynamoSamples uses a different version of NUnit compared to Dynamo (Dynamo.All)

Windows 10 (x64)
Visual Studio 2017 (15.6.3)
NUnit VS Adapter 2.1.1.0
Revit 2018 installed (for ASM libraries)

At the time of writing, the master branch of Dynamo is using nunit.framework.dll version 2.6.2.12296.

However, the master branch of DynamoSamples (in the sample library tests) is referencing the NUnit package version 2.6.3.

Due to this versioning difference, running DynamoSamples/SampleLibraryTests will result in a FileLoadException from Visual Studio's NUnit 2.1.1.0 test runner.

To resolve this issue, ensure that DynamoSamples copies out the nunit.framework.dll v2.6.3 into the Dynamo binary folder (overwriting Dynamo's v.2.6.2)

This whole issue of NUnit assembly resolution might have been specific to my (possibly incorrectly configured) build DynamoSamples and Dynamo environment. However, I thought I would share this problem, with the hope that it can save frustration for anyone else in the future.

Samples not working in Dynamo Sandbox correctly...

Hi,

I'm looking to get going with the examples in this repo, but I am running into errors. I'm specifically interested in View Extensions, but when I compile and copy into the Dynamo Root folder, the View Extension example doesn't seem to work and there are a few hangups on some other nodes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I'm using Dynamo 1.3, windows 10 and testing in Dynamo Sandbox, building in VS 2017 community and copied the latest Master from here.

Thanks in advance,
D

Will there be a branch for Dynamo 1.0?

Will there be a branch for Dynamo 1.0?

Get value of input in dropdown (C#)

I have created a dropdown that has inputs. Have do i "get" the cleand value of the inputs?

include xml files with nuget packages : wishlist

would be nice to include xml doc files with nuget .dlls so we get documentation for dynamo stuff
