IDO Extension Class Assemblies

Use this form to manage IDO extension class assemblies stored in the Objects Database.

IDO extension class .NET methods are implemented in IDO extension classes and compiled into assemblies that must be imported into the Objects Database. These assemblies are loaded on demand by the IDO Runtime Service.

In this form, you can select one of these assembly types:

  • Binary Only: To maintain the source code in a source control system, select this option.

    The accompanying Symbols file, which is created when the VB .NET code is compiled into a DLL, can also be imported into the Objects Database, to allow debugging of the extension class assembly. This process is optional.

    After you enter the IDO extension class assembly name and import both files, you must save the assembly record. The IDO extension class assembly name is then available for selection on the IDOs form.

    You can check the source code in or out using the source control system.

  • Build From Source: To create, extend, and replace the source code within the Mongoose framework, select this option.

    You can check the source code in or out using the IDO Extension Class Source Code form. This form is accessible by means of the Source Code button.
