DIS 2.37

New features

IDE

Function editor: Enhanced linking of profile definitions to functions and function interfaces [ID_32633]

When, in the Function editor, you wanted to link a profile definition to a function, up to now, you had to fetch the profiles.xml file from the DataMiner Agent and open it next to the function.xml file in Visual Studio. From now on, when editing a function or one of its interfaces in the Function editor, you will be able to select a profile definition from a selection box listing all profile definitions found on the connected DataMiner Agent.

DIS now partially supports the use of NuGet packages in protocols and Automation scripts [ID_32962]

DIS now partially supports the use of NuGet packages in protocols and Automation scripts.

  • Apart from saving the protocol.xml file, the File > Save Compiled Protocol As… command will now also extract the necessary DLL files from the configured/used NuGet packages and place them in a DLLs folder.

  • Apart from saving the automation.xml file, the File > Save (All) Compiled Script As… command will now also extract the necessary DLL files from the configured/used NuGet packages and place them in a DLLs folder.

Currently, the “Publish” command will only publish the XML file, not the NuGet DLL files.

DIS Comparer tool window: Comparison will now start automatically after selecting both protocols [ID_33045]

Up to now, in the DIS Comparer tool window, you had to click the Compare button after selecting the two protocols you wanted to compare. From now on, the comparison will start automatically after you selected the two protocols to be compared.

Enhancements

IDE: Custom-made information bars replaced by standard Visual Studio information bars [ID_32483]

In the UI, the following custom-made information bars have now been replaced by standard Visual Studio information bars:

  • Class Library package contains errors
  • DIS update available
  • Incorrect BOM or XML header
  • Incorrect project references
  • Incorrect target framework

IDE: StyleCop plugin for Visual Studio replaced by StyleCop.Analyzers NuGet package [ID_32508]

From now on, DIS will use the StyleCop.Analyzers NuGet package instead of the StyleCop plugin for Visual Studio.

When DIS detects that a solution needs to be updated, a banner will be displayed, asking to update the solution. During the update, the StyleCop.Analyzers NuGet package will be added to all C# projects, except helper and library projects. After the update, the new StyleCop analyzers will use the stylecop.json file instead of the Settings.StyleCop file.

Derived classes are now also included in generated Class Library code.

Fixes

IDE - Function editor: Removing a table from a page did not remove the column parameters from the function file [ID_33099]

When, in the Function editor, you removed a table from a page, the column parameters would incorrectly not be removed from the function file. From now on, when you remove a table from a page, the table parameter as well as the column parameters will be removed from the function file.

Text of connection errors in DMA connection window would incorrectly be cut off

When, in an Edit DMA connection window, an error occurred when you clicked the Test connection button, in some cases, the text of the error message would incorrectly be cut off. From now, long error messages will automatically wrap to the next line.
