Hi Gary,

Yes, "Project > Add Reference" is correct.
From there, click "Browse" and go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio5" to select the DLL.

Thanks, that worked!

Now when I try to compile, I am getting this error:

'FileReader' does not contain a constructor that takes 2 arguments

The class is defined as follows:

public class FileReader : AbstractBilingualContentProcessor { ... }

However, there are two arguments when a new FileReader object is created:

FileReader _task = new FileReader(_settings, projectFile.LocalFilePath);

Any idea why this is not working? I am trying to dig into this problem but I don't have much experience with C# and Visual Studio.

EDIT: After reading about constructors in C#, I added the following line inside of the 'FileReader' class and the error has disappeared. But is there a better solution?

public FileReader(MyCustomBatchTaskSettings _taskSettings, string _inputFilePath) { }

Thanks,

Gary

It took me a while to realize it, but this sample project (http://producthelp.sdl.com/SDK/BatchTaskApi/1.0/html/d4c61662-0dc9-4f3c-8bed-f7cfc3b3b27d.htm) is not complete. What I mean is that it would take a lot of additional code to make a working example of it.

Question: I wonder if there is a complete version somewhere? I don't see it in the sample projects in 'C:\ProgramData\SDL\SDK 5.0'. Or a complete version of any batch task?
