Edge DotNET SDK twCSdk.dll replacement

[ZHH]

Download Path:

PTC Software Download -> ThingWorx Edge SDK -> ThingWorx Edge SDK -> Most Recent Datecode -> Datecode: M070 -> C-SDK-3-0-0-2317 (42 MB).

File name: MED-61061-CD-055_M070_C-SDK-3-0-0-2317.zip . Is this Edge C SDK source code? If yes, can I use it to build out twCSdk.dll (A) then replace into Edge DotNET SDK, DotNET SDK also have a tw-c-sdk folder installed, it also includes twCSdk.dll (B).

Want to customize Edge DotNET SDK, thanks.

Hi @ZHH.

Have you upgraded the .Net SDK to the latest?  It should already contain the updated .dll.  Here is a link to the .Net SDK release notes.

Hi Sharon,

Already using the latest .Net SDK, want to add some features that the latest .Net SDK did not have, only add new features not change any existing as there is no .Net SDK source code.

Not sure if can replace twCSdk.dll with customized dll.

Thanks.

Hello @ZHH ,

I have checked and this twCSdk.dll  is NOT customizable. However, Could you pls share the features that are missing in the latest version?

Hello Bhawna,

Thanks for sharing twCSdk.dll  in Edge DotNET SDK cannot be replaced, that means we have to wait for enhancements. The following weblinks for your reference.

1, Long type not work in the Edge DotNET SDK.

thingworx-dotnet-common.dll also shows a type name named BaseType.LONG, but it does not work.

Hello @ZHH ,

If one needs to customize twCSdk.dll than you should be using c-sdk NOT .net sdk. As part of the c-sdk build is the twCSdk lib. 

Regarding the above shared links, I believe Product team will decide further.

Have a good day ahead!
