Hello Everybody,

I am using Software factory toolkit

I create a new Argument named Fameworkat CreateSolution.Xml file

My CreateSolution.Xml is as under:

**************CreateSolution.xml*******************************************

<Arguments>
<Argument Name="SolutionName">
<Converter Type="Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library.Converters.RegexMatchStringConverter, Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library"
Expression="[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z_0-9]*(\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z_0-9]*)*"/>
<ValueProvider Type="ExpressionEvaluatorValueProvider" Expression="$(safeprojectname)"/>
</Argument>

<Argument Name="Framework" Type="System.String"/>

</Arguments>

<GatheringServiceData>
<Wizard xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/pag/gax-wizards" SchemaVersion="1.0">
<Pages>
<Page>
<Title>New Solution</Title>
<Fields>

<Field ValueName="Framework" Label=" Framework Location"/>

</Page>

</Pages>

</Wizard>
</GatheringServiceData>

<Actions>
<Action Type="Test.Actions.CreateDirectory,Test" Name="CreateDir">
<Input Name="Framework" RecipeArgument="Framework" >
</Input>
</Action>

********************************************************************************************

I want to get value of Argument Framework at my CreateDirectory.cs(Action file).

I do at CreateDirectory.cs

************************CreateDirectory.cs************************************************

public class CreateDirectory: ActionBase
{
private string framework ;
[Microsoft.Practices.WizardFramework.CustomWizardPage.RecipeArgument]
public string Framework
{

set
{
framework = value;

}

}

protected override void OnExecute()
{}

protected override void OnUndo()

{}

************************************************************************************

Note:framework is a private variable declare at Createdirectory.cs file while

Framework is the Argument declare at CreateSolution.xml file.

In Place of [Microsoft.Practices.WizardFramework.CustomWizardPage.RecipeArgument]
I also Try [Input]

But same problem is occur with both

************************************************************************************

Build and register is successfull but when I start my new above created package

I get the following error

*****************************************************************************************

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe CreateSolution. Error was: Action CreateDir failed to execute:

Please Help me.

Hello Everyone

I get the solution:

protected override void OnExecute()
{

IDictionaryService dictionary = (IDictionaryService)GetService(typeof(IDictionaryService));
object value = dictionary.GetValue("Framework");
String frameworkLocation = (String)value;

}

That how,I can get value of Argument.

Hi Monesh,

If you're using the Clarius Software Factories Toolkit (as you mention) you can save some code by just doing:

GetArgument("FSE4Framework")

All actions in SFT inherit from ActionBase and thus have some helper methods like the just mentioned one. Others are:

VisualStudio property -- this will get you a reference to DTE.
GetPackageBasePath() method -- this will get you the base path where you guidance package is running.
GetSolutionBasePath() method -- this will get you the base path of the solution currently opened.

HTH,
