C# introduction

C# is used to create script code in this program. It is one of the most popular programming languages.

You don't need to learn C# to start creating automation scripts. Use the input recorder and other tools in the Code menu. But with some C# knowledge you can do much more.

This script displays string "example" in the program's Output panel. It calls function it of class print.

print.it("example");

This script contains 2 statements. The //text is comments.

var s = "Some text."; //create variable s
dialog.show("Example", s); //show message box

Example with statements if, return (exit) and operator ! (NOT).

if (!dialog.showOkCancel("Example", "Continue?")) {
	print.it("Cancel");
	return;
}
print.it("OK, let's continue.");

Use the for statement to execute code more than once.

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
	print.it(i);
}

Another way to execute code more than once - user-defined functions.

//call function Example 2 times
Example("one", 1);
Example("two",2);

//this is the function
void Example(string s, int i) {
	print.it(s.Upper() + " " + i);
}

In the above examples you also can see:

• The blue words are C# keywords.
• Other words are identifiers (names of types, functions, variables, etc).
• Keywords and identifiers are case-sensitive.
• Every statement ends with ; (semicolon). Unless it starts a block of code enclosed in { }.
• Function arguments are enclosed in ( ) and separated with , (comma).
• Blocks of code are enclosed in { }.

C# does not care about the type and amount of whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) between statements, arguments, etc. Example:

Example("one",1);Example("two",
							2);
