How to get dynamically created container (with TestStand API and C#) from a subsequence?

[Risotto]

Hi,

In my sequence, I alway do the same stuff in the setup:

1. I read contants from Excel files with a C#-action I wrote

2. I put all the contants in 1 container. The variables are created at runtime.

Now I whant to put my setup in an extra sequence, so that when I do some change in it, the changes take effect automatically in each sequence calling my setup-sequence. The problem is the container containing my constants is created at runtime and the contains depend on the Excel files, which are free customizable. I already try to pass an empty container by reference as parameter of the setup-sequence and create my variables in this parameters, but it doesn't works.

Anybody an idea?

Cheers,

Hi,

You could try using a Locals variable and sent the property to Propagate to Subsequence (PropFlag_Propagate).

At runtime you would see the same variable in your sub-sequence's Locals area.

Hi Ray,

Thanks you for your answer.

I already try this method, but I was not really happy to use local variable and propagate them in the subsequence.

I found another solution, which consist to use the property "Caller". It is like passing an object per reference in C#.
