Accessing Options with Context.GetOptionsObject(category, name )

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi All,

In my custom Action I'm trying to access some of the options of a pre existing Action Package.  Specifically, I'm trying to access the Visual Source Safe Ini file, project, username, pwd, etc.  I'd like to do this from a c# class lib.  Problem is I can't seem to figure out how to find the necessary Option Catagory and the Option Key Name.

using your previous posts I can make it work in script (the other version of that method call, the one w/ just 1 arg), but no luck otherwise.

Thanks 

Rob

Hi Rob,

Unfortunately, the Custom Action API doesn’t provide you with a way to access most of the built-in FinalBuilder options objects (like the VSS options object) from inside a .NET custom action project.

The only way to do it is going to be from script, in the manner you described. Sorry we can’t be more helpful.

Regards,

Angus
