Insert block with attributes in existing table

Hi,

 

I'm creating a routine to fill in my terminal strips. This routine worked perfectly in Vba but I'm now rewriting it for .NET

The problem is that I want to insert a block with attributes into different cells.

The tables already exists. Below my function, I'm stuck on this part

 

                                       

Dim lonReturnedIds = FunBlockId() ' Calls the function FunBlockID to get the ID's of the attributes

' 0 = BlockID

' 1 = AttributeID of KleurB

' 2 = AttributeID of KleurO

TS.Cells(i, intPosition).Contents.Add()

TS.Cells(i, intPosition).Contents(0).BlockTableRecordId = lonReturnedIds(0)

TS.Cells(i, intPosition).SetBlockAttributeValue(lonReturnedIds(1), strCableConductor2WriteFirst)

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Gerald

Try this post:

http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2007/06/creating_an_aut_1.html

 

The original post does not deal with attributes, but there is some activity in the comments that talks about how to do it.

Thanks for your reply, I already had seen that post.

But when I now looked at the code I saw my mistake.

 

It should be

TS.UpgradeOpen()

                                            TS.Cells(i, intPosition).BlockTableRecordId = lonreturnedIds(0)

 

Again thanks.
