  • 1.  .net live text update

    Newbie .net question:

    We watched the Xpression U tutorial about using the API to create an application in C#, and we had a question:

    It looks like when you are trying to change a text object through the API, you can only see the change when the scene is taken online? Is it possible to update the text while the scene is live on air?

    We are trying to build a football score controller, so things like score, downs, and flag markers need to be able to be updated live, preferably without having to put the scene online each time.

    Thanks for your insights

    It will definitely change on air if you keep a pointer to the same scene that you call SetOnline for.

    I can't remember exactly what that tutorial did (even though I made it) but it probably got a new scene each time.

    Thanks Brian, one more question. Is there an easy way to run a .net application that would control Xpression from another computer over the network?

    No, it generally needs to run on the same computer.
