Sample code to disconnect (not invoked from the UI thread)

[xcondor]

Hi,

Is there a sample how to implement disconnecting from an addon?

It seems that there is more than just:

myConnection.Disconnect();

Does the Options property also need to be reset:

myConnection.Options=null;

What about the Connections collection?

Connection.Connections.Remove(myConnection);

What is a best practice to implement a time delay before creating a new connection after disconnecting?

All of these questions are for a class deriving from the AddOnBase class with no UI — no OnButtonClick event handler to disconnect; no combobox selector OnSelectionChanged event handler or SelectedItem to get the instance of myConnection. All of the code runs directly in the OnWindowCreated handler.

I am not clear whether the code to disconnect should be invoked async.

Thanks

Hello xcondor,

Thank you for your note.

To disconnect from an Addon you should use Disconnect(),

You would not need to set the connection to null, remove the connection from the collection, nor invoke async to disconnect.

C# does have a timer class you could implement, however it would be up to you to determine what is the best approach to implement a time delay.
