C# CSharp in Dynamo

[josef.radi]

Hello guys,

I am trying to link a C# Script into my Dynamo Script.

Now I tried the example based on this post:

C# Revit API How do I setup CSharp?

I have a simple c# class using the Revit API but I’m confused how do I setup the class (.dll) for Dynamo to use. I’ve had success importing a package (.dll) that isn’t using the Revit API, however, I would really like to use the Revit API. Does anyone have a template for c# class using the Revit API to be used in Dynamo? or an example of how you put together a dyn and .dll to work together to edit Revit Elements? using Autodesk.Revit.DB; using Autodesk.Revit.DB.Architecture; using System.Coll…

But for me it didnt work. What am I doing wrong? is it possible that this one is a too old node? (this post was in 2016). Are there any new experiences with C# within Dynamo?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks a lot!

I exactly did what they did in this post. But the node everytime just gives error messages.

FYI @Dimitar_Venkov

I’ve started to use Zero Touch node. Also Python is more friendly to use with Dynamo.

Best of luck DB.

I was under the impression c# could only be used through the REVIT API. I have an interest in using c# in dynamo too.

Good luck!

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. There’s a few gotchas but the node still works fine in 2.0. You’ll first have to make sure that you’re feeding in an empty list for the “CustomAssemblies” input, becase the old default is now invalid. Secondly, if you’re passing any integers, you’ll have to make sure you cast them to Int64, because that’s now the default in Dynamo:

Thanks for sharing !

So is it possible to get @Danny_Bentley’s code running in @Dimitar_Venkov’s node?

I don’t have the skills!
