Tutorial 4: Add Traditional Bridge Routines

The next step in the process is to add the traditional Synergy routines that you want to expose to the TraditionalBridge project. In your actual environment, you may have existing routines in existing libraries, in which case you would add references to those libraries in the Traditional Bridge project so that the TraditionalBridgeHost program is linked against those libraries, but for the purpose of this tutorial, we will start by adding the code for a single routine directly in the TraditionalBridge project.

1. In Solution Explorer right-click on the TraditionalBridge project, select Add > New Folder, and name the folder Methods.

2. Right-click on the Models folder, select Add > New Item....

3. In the Add New Item dialog, select Code File, and set the name of the file to AddTwoNumbers.dbl before clicking Add.

4. Copy and paste the following code into the new source file:

   ;;*****************************************************************************
   ;;
   ;; Title:       AddTwoNumbers.dbl
   ;;
   ;; Description: An example routine being exposed by Traditional Bridge.
   ;;              Calculates and returns the sum of two numbers.
   ;;
   ;;*****************************************************************************
   
   subroutine AddTwoNumbers
       required in  number1, n
       required in  number2, n
       required out result,  n
   proc
       result = number1 + number2
       xreturn
   endsubroutine   
   

   

5. Right-click on the TraditionalBridge project and select Build.

6. Check the Output window and verify that the build was successful.

   1>------ Build started: Project: TraditionalBridge, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
   ========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
