Assigning control's property value to the same controls another property

[Alpaslan]

Hi,

I created a custom control. It has a property that is not controlled by the value got from PLC. It can be done within project but this causes to do this every usage of control. I want to do this within the code of control. Let me clear;

Control has a property named StartToGet. It has 5 values.
Control has a property named PLCAddressValue. It gets a number from PLC.

I want to assign value of PLCAddressValue got from PLC to value of StartToGet property within the code of control.

How can do this?

Thanks for any help.

If you created your control following the model of the existing controls, you can change your property name to PLCAddressStartToGet and the rest happens automatically.

Hi,

I did not create original control. I have a DLL file and original control is in it. I deployed it only. I can't change original
property name. I am trying to assign a value got from PLC to original property. I can get and set original property value within program code but not in control's code.

If i use property variable original property value gets address. I use Modbus. Let me clear;

PLCAddressValue (address 40018) and StartToGet property meant to get same value from PLC. If i assign PLCAddressValue to StartToGet variable StartToGet has a value of 40018 not the value got from address 40018 of PLC.

Where did the DLL come from? Can you get the source code? If not, use a de-compiler to convert it back to VB, then modify it.

I found it from internet. I can't get source code. Decompiling doesn't worth to what i get.

Isn't there a way to use value got from PLC in control's code?

Maybe share the link on this DLL?

I am not a good reader.

Thanks Archie.

You found a control in a DLL from the internet that has a property PLCAddressValue?

Uh-oh, this has the potential to get a little awkward...
