Is this an externally triggered function...

Kristian Benning

Hi,

I'm VB.Net programmer stuck with some C# code:

public void LatestReadingUpdated(DeviceInfo info, Renishaw.Calibration.Laser.LaserReading value)
{
UpdateReading(value);

}

The function above is called regularly but nowhere in the code can I find where it is called.
The C++ program is monitoring a laser, data from which is fed back to the program via a USB connection.
The C++ contains references to many dlls relating to the laser.
The code opens a connection to the laser - how this is done is embedded in the one of the dlls.
Could this function be called via this open channel?

Many thanks

Kristian

Hi,

"LatestReadingUpdated" only appears once in the whole project when doing a "Find" for that string. The only occurance is shown in my previous post.
I'm guessing that I would be able to find it more than once if it was being called by a timer or loop which is why I can only think that it is being triggered externally by the USB control box for the laser - does that sound plausable?

Thanks

You have provided very few details. The function can be called regularly using timers, threads, loops etc. So its very difficult to tell from this snippet. It might be called whenever the laser reading changes.
