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");
    /**/
  }
}
