Application

Energy.Core.Application provides an application lifecycle container. It wires together command-line arguments, configuration, logging, localization, database connection, and syntax substitution.

It is often used with a class that implements Energy.Interface.ICommandProgram.

Properties

Property	Description
Name	Application name.
Assembly	Application assembly.
Directory	Application directory.
Syntax	Energy.Core.Syntax instance for variable substitution.
Log	Energy.Core.Log instance.
Configuration	Energy.Core.Configuration instance.
Connection	Energy.Source.Connection instance.
Locale	Energy.Core.Locale instance.
Arguments	Command-line arguments.

Constructors

Application app = new Application();
Application app2 = new Application(typeof(MyCommandProgram));
Application app3 = new Application("MyApp");
Application app4 = new Application(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

Create and Run

Application app = Application.Create();
app.Run();

When an ICommandProgram is attached, Run() calls Setup(args), Initialize(args), and Run(args) in sequence.

CommandProgram

using System;
using Energy.Core;
using Energy.Interface;

public class MyCommandProgram : ICommandProgram
{
    public bool Setup(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Setup");
        return true;
    }

    public bool Initialize(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Initialize");
        return true;
    }

    public bool Run(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Run");
        return true;
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Application app = new Application(typeof(MyCommandProgram));
        app.Arguments = args;
        app.Run();
    }
}

GetCommandName

static string Energy.Core.Application.GetCommandName()

Get the current process name. Useful for command-line help output.
