When to Set the TokenIDType

SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

I generated the Tokens and the Sematic states class with Code Smith
But somehow the the token.id isn't set to an other value than 0
Do I have to set special properties or make a special call?


The code used to test


Document document = new Document();
Stream stream = SyntaxEditorHelper.GetLanguageStream(Language.CSharp);
// load language definition of CSharp
document.LoadLanguageFromXml(stream, 0);
document.Language.TokenIDType= typeof(CSharp.Tokens);
document.Language.LexicalStateIDType = typeof(CSharp.States);
// Set programming text
document.Text = Content;
foreach (Token token in document.Tokens)
{
Debug.WriteLine(token.ID);
Always prints out 0
}

namespace Test
{
public class CSharp
{
public class Tokens
{
public const int Default = 1;
public const int Whitespace = 2;
public const int LineTerminator = 3;

I found a Solution with code.

Document document = new Document();
Stream stream = SyntaxEditorHelper.GetLanguageStream(Language.CSharp);
// load language definition of CSharp
document.LoadLanguageFromXml(stream, 0);
document.Language.TokenIDType = typeof(CSharp.Tokens);
document.Language.LexicalStateIDType = typeof(CSharp.States);
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
document.Language.SaveToXml(memStream,1);
memStream.Position=0;
document.LoadLanguageFromXml(memStream,1);
document.Text = Content;
foreach (Token token in document.Tokens)
{
Debug.WriteLine(token.ID);
Always prints out 0
}

Or I can set the fully qualified TokenIDTypeName and StateIDTypeName attributes in the SyntaxEditorLanguage Element.

<SyntaxLanguage Key="C#" LanguageDefinitionVersion="3.0" Secure="True" xmlns="http://ActiproSoftware/SyntaxEditor/3.0/LanguageDefinition" TokenIDTypeName="PROCOS.WinControls.CodeEditor.Engine.CSharp+Tokens, PROCOS.WinControls.CodeEditor.Engine, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f36351223a00f7d0" StateIDTypeName="PROCOS.WinControls.CodeEditor.Engine.CSharp+States, PROCOS.WinControls.CodeEditor.Engine, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f36351223a00f7d0" >

Exactly, you have to tell it which Types have the consts in the XML or it can't translate the names when loading the definition.

The document.Language.TokenIDType and document.Language.LexicalStateIDType properties are only useful when saving a language back out to XML. When you do that it will attempt to examine those Types to find a const with each TokenID value.

Also FYI, shortening this:
TokenIDTypeName="PROCOS.WinControls.CodeEditor.Engine.CSharp+Tokens, PROCOS.WinControls.CodeEditor.Engine, 
Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f36351223a00f7d0"
to this will work:
TokenIDTypeName="PROCOS.WinControls.CodeEditor.Engine.CSharp+Tokens, PROCOS.WinControls.CodeEditor.Engine"
That prevents you from having to upgrade version numbers any time you change your assemblies. However it is less specific and could pick up the wrong one if you have multiple assembly versions on your system.

Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to get this to work.

How do I find the fully qualified name of my types in a vb.net project? Could you may be provide a small example?

I tried to find the name by using GetType which resulted in something like "AppName.mCommons+tokenID" but LoadLanguageFromXML complains about not being able to load it.

I put the definitions as enum in a module. Do they need to go elsewhere?

Ah, I begin to understand. From what I see, ALL token names need to be defined in the enum. Is that right?
I would much rather have defined IDs only for those tokens that I really need to care about.
So if I am correct, all I need to do is define ALL token names with appropriate IDs, right?

When you specify the type name, you have to at a minimum include the assembly name as well or .NET won't resolve it.

Yes all token names need to be defined. That's why we include a CodeSmith template so that if you use CodeSmith you can auto-generate the ID class.
