Run Group

The Run group enables validation, rebuilding, simulation and debugging of the project.

Build

The build control validates the script code and compiles the current project.

Recompiling the project using the Build control will result in only the changes being made to project to be recompiled. To fully recompile the project, instead use the Rebuild control.

Rebuild

The rebuild control validates the script code and recompiles the complete project.

Run

A test of the project can be executed directly on the PC. Clicking

Run

will perform a validation and start a simulation, if the project can be built. If errors are found during validation, an error message will be displayed.

During simulation, the project will communicate directly with the configured controllers, provided that the controllers are correctly connected to the development environment.

Note:

If project build fails, check that the absolute path to the project, including its components, does not exceed 260 characters.

Simulate

It is also possible to test and run the application on the development PC without connection to the selected controller, by clicking

Simulate

. If the project is valid, the simulation is started.

Debug

The Debug command will allow the user to debug scripts in a real c# debugger with the possibility to set breakpoints etc. The command builds and checks the current project, and launches the application associated with the generated file.

The function scans the development PC for an installed debugger. If no debugger is found, a link for downloading debugger is presented. User preferences for the script debugger may be entered under

Options

, available from the File menu.

Note:

Visual Studio 2008 requires SP1 in order for associated files to be opened automatically

(i.e. using the Debug command).

Debugging of a project with Script module included is not supported using Visual Studio

2010.

Debugging of a CE project is not supported using Visual Studio 2010.
