Referencing a Script from within a Script

You can create a script of often-used functions and re-use that script from any other scripts. You do this using the Add .NET Script Reference command.

Adding a script reference

Create a single script that you want to re-use or reference from another script.
Create a new driving script that will call your re-used script.
Expand the Properties tab.
Right click and select Add .NET Script Reference.
Select the script that you want to use click OK.

Script example

The following sample contains a script file called Calculator that will be referenced from another script.

Note: Since the following has no Main() method, it cannot run on its own.

Public Class Calculator
  Public Shared Function Add(left As Integer, right As Integer)
		  Return left + right
	 End Function

  Public Shared Function Subtract(left As Integer, right As Integer)
		  Return left - right
	 End Function

  Public Shared Function Multiply(left As Integer, right As Integer)
    Return left * right
  End Function

  Public Shared Function Divide(left As Integer, right As Integer)
    Return left / right
  End Function
End Class

Create another script, and add Calculator as a reference (expand the Properties tab, right click, select Add .NET Script Reference, and select Calculator) , and use the following code:

Public Module Main
	Dim _desktop As Desktop = Agent.Desktop

	Public Sub Main()
		MsgBox("2 + 3 = " + Calculator.Add(2, 3).ToString())
	End Sub
End Module
