Structure of a Simple Script

A simple script that you can execute consists of at least one public class with at least one function. This function always has to be marked with the [Start] attribute.

The overall structure of a simple C# script thus looks like this:

public class <ScriptName>
{

     [Start]
     public void <FunctionName>
     {

           //<Enter your code text here>
           return;

     }

}

The following example shows a very simple script in C#:

public class SimpleScript
{

     [Start]
     public void MyFunction()
     {

           MessageBox.Show("MyFunction was called!", "SimpleScript");
           return;

     }

}

In this example the class SimpleScript with the function MyFunction is generated. The function is marked by the [Start] attribute. If the script is run via the command path File > Extras > Command group Extensions > Interfaces > Command group Scripts > Run, a message with the message MyFunction was called! is displayed.
The same example in Visual Basic.Net looks like this:

Public Class SimpleScript

     <Start> _
     Public Sub MyFunction()

           MessageBox.Show("MyFunction was called!", "SimpleScript")
           Return

     End Sub 'MyFunction

End Class 'SimpleScript

A script can also contain more than one function and different classes. In each case, exactly one function must be identified by the [Start] attribute.
