Hello,

Trying to locate and documentation that might key me into how to reference a variable such as last run date of active task inside a .NET condition?

😊 Sorry, I couldn't find that information or if its possible?

could it be that he is asking how to reference it from within a .NET task?

So...IS it possible to address variables from a .NET task?
I could use that functionality.

There are two ways. The best way would be to pass the values in that you need. This way the "execution context" is kept. For example, which Task you are at etc.

But, if you are going to use general variables like date and other functions you can create an instance of the VariableReplaceClass in the code. But I guess you are interested in more context sensitive Variables.

yup.
I'm currently just recreating the appropriate variables I need within the .net code.
It would sure be alot easier if they are already there and I can just pick and choose.

can you give an example of how to pass in the values and use it within a .net task?

I was talking about passing parameters - perhaps I misunderstood you?

I am thinking about the .NET code Task. In the bottom of the Task you have a grid with Parameters. So if you create a string parameter you can pass Task name for example.

I know this sounds basic, and I apoligize in advance for asking, but could you do a screenprint of an example of what your .net task looks like using a simple parameter...including the code in the window of how it's being used?

OK. I found the problem. It looks like I didn't have my window opened up enough to show me that there is a pane under the 'parameters(double click to edit)' line. Once I opened the window I noticed how you have a table with 'parameter name' 'data type' and 'value preview'. The world of parameters has opened up to me!!!

Yes, we will increase default window size and maybe decrease the code window a bit.
