C# iLogic Automation

[Daan_M]

Hi forum,

The code below adds iLogic and then runs a rule of my choice. which is great.

Now i want to run a rule multiple times, i call 'AddiLogic()' elsewhere in my code when i need the rule to run.

I assume it's not needed to run this whole block of code just for the rule to run. I think i only need the last part of block, so i could split the block into two:

one does AddiLogic();

the other does RunRule();

the problem is that i'm quite new to coding and when i split it it looses all references and creates a whole list of errors, see the code further below for what my goal is...

void AddiLogic()
        {
            string MyRuleName = textBox2.Text;
            string iLogicAddinGuid = "{3BDD8D79-2179-4B11-8A5A-257B1C0263AC}";
            ApplicationAddIn iLogicAddin;
            dynamic iLogicAutomation = null;

            try
            {
                iLogicAddin = _invApp.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById[iLogicAddinGuid];
                iLogicAutomation = iLogicAddin.Automation;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Unable to access iLogic addin " + ex.Message);
            }

            // niet nodig om de hele AddIlogic toe te voegen, alleen de rule uitvoeren is voldoende...

            try
            {

                iLogicAutomation.Runrule(oDoc, MyRuleName);
            }
            catch
            {
                MessageBox.Show("There is no rule called " + MyRuleName);
            }

        }

   void AddiLogic()
        {
            string MyRuleName = textBox2.Text;
            string iLogicAddinGuid = "{3BDD8D79-2179-4B11-8A5A-257B1C0263AC}";
            ApplicationAddIn iLogicAddin;
            dynamic iLogicAutomation = null;

            try
            {
                iLogicAddin = _invApp.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById[iLogicAddinGuid];
                iLogicAutomation = iLogicAddin.Automation;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Unable to access iLogic addin " + ex.Message);
            }
        }
           
        void RunRule()
        {
                try
                {

                    iLogicAutomation.Runrule(oDoc, MyRuleName);
                }
                catch
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("There is no rule called " + MyRuleName);
                }
        }
