====== Sample of a Bean ======

===== Source Code =====

Here is a sample code of a component in C# (save this to a file called Your_CSharpBean_Name.cs) :

<code csharp>
using WComp.Beans;      // Contains the definition of the [Bean] attribute
using System.Threading; // For the thread demo purposes

namespace Your_Namespace_Name {

    [Bean]
    public class Your_CSharpBean_Name : IThreadCreator {
        private Thread t;      // Private attributes of the class
        private volatile bool run;
        private volatile int eventValue;

        public Your_CSharpBean_Name() {
            // Put here your init instructions
            t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ThreadLoopMethod));
            run = false;
            eventValue = 10;
        }

        public void Start() {  // method starting the thread
            if (!run) {
                run = true;
                t.Start(); 
            } 
        }
        public void Stop() {   // since version 2.4.0.856,
            run = false;       // IThreadCreator defines the Stop() method
        } 

         // Loop sample
         public void ThreadLoopMethod() {
             while(run) {
                 Thread.Sleep(1000);
                 // Check if the output is connected
                 if(Output_Sample != null)
                     // call the connected methods sequentially
                     Output_Sample(eventValue);
                // and so on...
             }
        }

        // --- Start: Input port sample ---
        // an input port is a public method (like below)
        public void Input_Sample(int intParam) {
            eventValue = intParam;
            // No return value is expected in WComp:
            // results are given using events
        }
        // --- End: Input port sample ---

        // --- Start: Output port sample ---
        public delegate void Output_Sample_Signature(int val);
        // The delegate defines the signature of the output method
        public event Output_Sample_Signature Output_Sample;
        // The output port is the event, named here Output_Sample
        // --- End: Output port sample ---
    }
}

===== Compilation =====

Here is a sample of the command line compilation:
<code>
csc.exe /target:library /r:Beans.dll Sample_Component.cs
</code>

You will find Beans.dll in the SharpWComp distrib.
