One of the most time-consuming processes when developing with Hexagon G/Technology is creating custom commands. The usual development approach consists of the following iterative process: During testing, only limited changes to the source code are allowed by the Visual Studio Edit and Continue function, effectively requiring multiple iterations of this sequence. The process of starting… Read More »

In an earlier post Stephan mentions that it was not possible to debug G/Technology 10.2 in “edit and continue” mode. You could only attach Visual Studio to the G3E.exe and debug. But you cannot break the code and then make a small change. For every change you need to close G3E.exe, compile your project, start G3E.exe and… Read More »
If you need to build server side pages in Netviewer, changes are likely that you want to debug them. First thing to do is to change the output-path of your assembly to C:\Program Files\Intergraph\GTechnology\Program\GViewerApp\bin like in the following figure: This figure shows the properties page of a project, and while the path isn’t complete visible,… Read More »
When setting up a G/Technology environment, one of the boring things always is getting your ConnectionConfigurationMap.ccm right. One way to see what ddc-file is causing you trouble is use sysinternals Process Monitor tool and see what the last ddc-file read by the G3E-executable was. The next file immediately following that file in your ConnectionConfigurationMap.ccm then… Read More »
The G/Technology runtime environment is great and I haven’t seen much issues with it working at KPN Netherlands from 2009 until recently. A whole different story is the G/Technology developer experience and I’m very frustrated about it : There’s no clean distinction between development and runtime environment In G/Technology your feature definitions are stored in… Read More »
