MIB-to-C# Compilation¶
This page shows you information about how to enable MIB-to-C# compilation.
Background¶
#SNMP Library has a sample project that can work as a test agent. The agent can be manually extended to support more mangement objects, but it is possible to compile MIB documents to C# classes so as to simplify the process.
Evaluation Steps¶
Generating C# Source files¶
To test it out with #SNMP MIB Compiler Pro, make sure that the menu item
“Generate C# source files from MIB documents” is checked on the tool bar. Then
C# source files will be generated when MIB documents are compiled, and saved to
a child folder called modules
in the folder that contains Compiler.exe
.
To test out the same with SharpSnmpPro.Mib assembly,
Clone the extensions assembly from GitHub .
Replace the project reference to
SharpSnmpPro.Mib
with a NuGet package reference toSharpSnmpPro.Mib
.Use
ObjectTree.GenerateSourceFiles(string outputFolder)
method to generate C# source files.
Extending Test Agent¶
Once the source files are generated (in modules
foldler for example), a
C# project called Objects.csproj
can be found in the same folder.
Open snmpd.csproj
in #SNMP Library source code, and add a reference to this
new project, and the generated management objects can be added to the agent for
testing.
Limitations¶
This article is provided as it is, and there is no official support to use either the test agent or the generated C# classes for production usage.
