Evaluate expression as post-step

[paolo75]

Hi

I need your support;

I realize a custom step type;

I insert in a post step a dll execution;

I need to execute some manipulation on the data collected;

I insert the right expression in the post-expression;

now to modify it in the newer release of my step type, I set the TS.PostExpr as Shared; but in this case seems not possible to disable this property;

my target is to execute the post-expression content in a SubStep post-step;

is it possible?

May you provide me any examples?

Thanks

Paolo

You don't need to use the post expression at all. Just pass the sequence context into your substep and call:

seqContext.AsPropertyObject.EvaluateEx() on it with whatever expression you want to evaluate.

Hope this helps,

I need to insert 2 sub-steps to execute it.

Is it right?

Is it possible to execute it in 1 sub-step, without any additional variable to store the object reference?

Thanks

I'm not sure why you would need two substeps. If you are just using the activeX adapter to call the TestStand API, you might want to instead write a code module and call that since that way you will then be able to have a significant amount of code in one stubstep.
