Decompile UR files like URP program and installation files

Edit program files

The library can open and edit program files with .urp extension. You can access and modify inner XML.

using System.Xml.Linq;
using UnderAutomation.UniversalRobots.Files;

class FileProgram
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    
    URProgram prg = URProgram.Load(@"C:\myPrg.urp");

    XElement innerXml = prg.XML;

    // Set program associated installation file
    // You can also add instructions or change other attributes
    innerXml.Attribute("installationRelativePath").Value = "default";

    // Save modified program files
    // You could then transfer this file to the robot with SFTP
    prg.Save(@"C:\myPrg.urp");
    
  }
}

Edit installation files

The library can open and edit installation files with .installation extension.

using System.Xml.Linq;
using UnderAutomation.UniversalRobots.Files;

class FileInstallation
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    
    URInstallation prg = URInstallation.Load(@"C:\default.installation");

    XElement innerXml = prg.XML;

    // Change your installation settings
    innerXml.Attribute("showSpeedSliderOnRunTab").Value = "true";

    // Save modified program files
    // You could then transfer this file to the robot with SFTP
    prg.Save(@"C:\default.installation");
    
  }
}
