Calling an M tag from .NET using Cache'

Question

I'm trying to find a way to call a MUMPS tag ideally from VBA, but alternatively from .NET. I know that you can do "sql" commands using Intersystems' provided APIs, but how can I just do something like d ^MYROUTINE?

Answer 1

It is not possible to call a routine directly from Bindings.

The most natural way to do this would be to make a class wrapper - AKA a class that has a ClassMethod that calls ^MYROUTINE. Then, generate .NET Proxy Classes and call the ClassMethod from .NET.

If you are doing new development, use .NET if all possible - it will have the best support on all fronts moving forward.

Answer 2

Might it make sense to wrap your method in a ClassMethod and then declare your method as a [SQLProc]. If you already are doing "sql" commands this might be a natural fit.

Answer 3

Install Vism control on your machine

Add Vism Components in your Dotnet Project Using "Project->Companents" Option

Use this line:

VisM1.NameSpace="@MyNS" VisM1.Server="CN_IPTCP:server[port]:username:password"

Then Vism1.Execute (Here ur code)
