Hello all. I am new to LSPDFR plugin development. I am currently working on a small plugin, yet I have a problem. I want for my plugin some settings packed in an ini file. Unfortunately I get this error when I go on-duty:

Here is the corresponding code:

namespace YourShift
{
    public class EntryPoint : Plugin
    {

        public static void Main()
        {
            //GetShiftSettings();
        }

        public int count = 0;
        public static int shiftstopp = 48;
        public static int notificationInterval = 60;
        public static int lunch = shiftstopp / 2;
        public static int lunchend = (shiftstopp / 2) + 5;
        public static int shiftend = shiftstopp - 5;
        public static bool language_de = true;

        public static void GetShiftSettings()
        {
            InitializationFile iniFile = new InitializationFile("plugins/LSPDFR/YourShift.ini");

 

            language_de = iniFile.ReadBoolean("Language", "German", language_de);

            shiftstopp = iniFile.ReadInt32("Configuration", "Shift_Stop", shiftstopp);
            int lunch = shiftstopp / 2;
        }

        public override void Initialize()

        {
           GetShiftSettings();

 

 

....

 

 

 

 

Here is the ini-file:

 

; Specifies when the shift should be over. After the timer expires, the messages are disabled and you are prompted to go off duty.
; Indication in minutes

 

Shift_Stop = 48 ;minutes

 

 

 

 

please ignore the spelling mistake xD

 

The setting for the language so the boolean is read without problems. Are there other ways to read out an integer of an ini-file? Or did I something wrong? Unfortunately, I could not find an example plugin in which something like this would be integrated. Please ask if you don't understand. Thank you for any clever contribution!

Have you tried it without the comment (;)? It seems it just calls into .NET functionality to parse a number.

@LMS You mean to call the getshiftsettings in the Main? Yes I tried it but the main won't be called, means the Shift_stopp variable doesn't change. Please correct me, if I understood it wrong. Anyways, thanks for trying to help me ^^

 

EDIT: It works now, thanks for your help. Unfortunately I didn't understand what you meant but now it works. So thank you very much!

 

If anyone has the same problem in the future and finds this post: (In the unlikely event)

Change:
Shift_Stop = 48 ;seconds

 

to:

Shift_Stop = 48 

 

Because the plugin reads the entire "48 ;seconds" as a number even if it is displayed differently in Visual Studio.
