🌟 Pending Release - 'Klient' - A multi-tool

[klincecum (Kevin Lincecum)]

Got back from riding go karts and worked a bit on the cut and paste “Helper”.

There will be a library and a few cut & paste helpers to chose from.

You would use this particular helper if you were going to do a lot of Console operations.
Otherwise, for a one off, just call the (epicor) function yourself, or use a more simple helper that I will provide as well.

This one will have all the logic for connection to Azure relay in the top. (Not shown) so if you plan to do a lot of IO in one place, you aren’t creating connection after connection.

This is missing the top portion that will handle connections, but this shouldn’t be too bad to paste in.

This is for paste in functions. BPMs use a slightly lower C# version, so I’ll have to adjust a bit.

BPMs use a slightly lower C# version, so I’ll have to adjust a bit.

If the BPM version doesn’t end up being super long, may end up with that one as a universal solution.

For any of you that are confused about the helpers, don’t worry, I will explain.

@klincecum

If the BPM version doesn’t end up being super long, may end up with that one as a universal solution.

It’s about the same, we’ll just go with the one without Tuples. The expanded version of the first is a tiny bit more readable, but not much.

You certainly can’t read the compacted paste version at all!
So I guess it doesn’t matter.

[klincecum (Kevin Lincecum)]

Success!

I created a universal paste solution, and just tested it. (It’s not compact yet lol)

What I did:

Opened a BPM (Actually a UBAQ BPM, but that’s a distinction without a real difference…)
Added this to the usings:

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using RestSharp;
using System.Drawing;

then pasted my helper at the top

//Begin Helper------------------------------------------------------------->
//Bunch of crap here lol
//<----------------------------------------------------------------End Helper

//And under that...
Konsole.Beep(1000, 250);

Hit the GetList button.

And it made an annoying beep at me.

You putting this in github so we can log issues right?

[klincecum (Kevin Lincecum)]

@Hally

github so we can log issues right?

Eventually. Gotta relearn github, been a bit.
