Robot API in Grasshopper

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 11:38:28 GMT

I am developing a plugin in C# to interface with Robot through Grasshopper. Given that we need to write one class per component, I am forced to instantiate the Robot application object in each component's constructor separately as follows:

namespace HelloGrasshopper
{
  public class MyFirstComponent : GH_Component
  {
    private IRobotApplication robotApp;

    public MyFirstComponent() : base("MyFirst", "MFC", "My first component", "Extra", "Simple")
    {
        robotApp  = new IRobotApplication();
    }
...

Is there a way to reuse the same app object rather than instantiating it in each component separately? Grasshopper only allows components to interact through in/out links.
