Hello,

I am working on a connector and trying to build function file for it. But I dont see function file template under File->New->General-> eventhough DIS is updated. Earlier it was showing up but since couple weeks  we dont see any dataminer template options under file menu.

Hi Aditiben,

Could you please provide some more information about the function file you are mentioning?
Perhaps a screenshot of another connector where you have such a file?

My best guess at the moment is that you want a QAction file, this file is automatically generated when adding a QAction to your protocol and then opening the QAction.
If you want another file in your QAction you can do this by right clicking -> add -> new item. Then pick what you need from the c# items (class, interface,…) and press “add”.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

After discussing with the team, we figured out what function file you were referring to.

This got removed in the past, but we're not completely sure in what DIS version.
Instead, you can use the following XML fragment that was previously autogenerated by selecting that template. Just paste this XML code in a new XML file (call it for example function.xml):

<Functions xmlns="http://www.skyline.be/config/functions"&gt;
<Version>1.0.0.1</Version>
<Protocol>
<Name><!– ProtocolName –></Name>
</Protocol>
</Functions>

After that, fill in the protocol name between the name tags (this was previously automatically done by the template).

We're planning to add this XML fragment to our collection of existing Visual Studio snippets under the "protocol" category to make it easily accessible in future releases of DIS.

Let me know if this helps you out.

Kind regards,
