Creating Recipes
The InduSoft Web Studio Recipes module allows the user to create, load and delete recipes.
Recipes, in this case, mean a group of tags that are going to have their values saved and retrieved
like a database.
For preparing Recipes you need to create a Recipe worksheet. This worksheet will tell the system
what tags you want to store in the disk for later retrieving, and where you are going to store the
data. When you save a recipe, it is created an ASCII file with the Tag values and the Recipe file
name. For retrieving these tag values, the system will find them in this ASCII file in standard
format or in XML format.
Creating the Recipe Worksheet
First, create the CLASS:CCake with the INTEGER type members Sugar, Fruit, Milk, Flour
and Yeast (Baked Powder):
Next, create the TAG Cake of the type class:CCake.
Note: Remember that the syntax to access the value from a class tag is:
.. (e.g. Cake.Sugar, Cake.Fruit, etc… ).
So, create the type STRING tag RecipeName (it is not a CLASS type) that will be used to store
the input file name used in the recipe task.
Now, select the Tasks tab in the Workspace window and create a new recipe sheet.
