Build and deploy the DLL

1 min read

The example described in this section was implemented using Microsoft Visual Studio with an output type of Class Library and a target Framework using .Net Standard 2.0.

Note
DLLs integrated with Aras Innovator need to be signed.

The DLL must also be compiled by linking with the Aras.DynamicModelViewer.DataModel and Aras.Server.Core libraries which are included with the Dynamic Model View Install and with the standard Aras Innovator installation respectively. Note also that the Rendering Configuration classes use the Color class as defined in System.Drawing. The resulting DLL needs to be stored within the <Aras Innovator Install Dir>/server/bin directory. Once the DLL is stored, update the method-config.xml file in the <Aras Innovator Install Dir>/server directory to include a reference to the DLL. See the following figure for an example.

Note
Due to the differences between Windows and Linux file systems it is required to use OS-specific path separator in paths. Remember that the Linux file system is case sensitive so there is significant difference between file names ./path/to/file.xml and ./path/to/File.xml.
