The AssemblyType action defines the type and assembly for a method that is called by the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager console.
 Note |
|---|
| The XML and C# code in this topic is available in the Dialog Prototype sample in the Configuration Manager SDK. |
The following attributes and elements are specific to an action that calls a method in an assembly:
- The Class attribute of the
ActionDescription element is set to AssemblyType.
- The ActionAssembly element has a
number of child elements that are used to define the method and
assembly.
- The Assembly element identifies the
assembly that contains the method. If the assembly is in a folder
other than %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Configuration
Manager\AdminConsole\bin folder then the Assembly element
should include the assembly filename and the full path to the
file.
- The Type element contains the
namespace and class for the method.
- The Method element contains the name
of the method to be called.
Method
The method signature is:
 Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
public static void Method(object, ScopeNode, ActionDescription, IResultObject, PropertyDataUpdated, Status) |
|
Where the parameters are as follows:
- object
- The object calling the method.
- ScopeNode
- The Configuration Manager console node that was active when the action was called.
- ActionDescription
- The ActionDescription class instance that initiated the action.
- IResultObject
- The selected object, or null if there is no selected object.
- PropertyDataUpdated
- The delegate to open to provide update information for the Configuration Manager console view.
- Status
- Allows control of the Configuration Manager console busy status indicator.
Example Implementation
The following is an example implementation of the method.
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
public static void Method(object sender, ScopeNode scopeNode, ActionDescription action, IResultObject resultObject, PropertyDataUpdated dataUpdatedDelegate, Status status)
{
if (resultObject != null)
{
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("The {0} package was selected", resultObject["Name"].StringValue));
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("No package was selected");
}
}

AssemblyType Action XML
The following XML example demonstrates how to call a
method, Method, in a class, SampleClass. The method
is in the assembly
AdminUI.PrototypeDialog.dll.
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
<ActionDescription Class="AssemblyType" DisplayName="Test Action (method)" MnemonicDisplayName="Mnemonic" Description="Description"> <ShowOn> <string>DefaultHomeTab</string> <string>ContextMenu</string> </ShowOn> <ActionAssembly> <Assembly>AdminUI.PrototypeDialog.dll</Assembly> <Type>Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.PrototypeDialog.ExampleClass</Type> <Method>Method</Method> <!--Method signature: public static void Method(object sender, ScopeNode scopeNode, ActionDescription action, IResultObject resultObject, PropertyDataUpdated dataUpdatedDelegate, Status status)--> </ActionAssembly> </ActionDescription> |
