Suppressing Code Weaving

From the driver designer, right click on the property, method or event for which you wish to disable code weaving and select Go to Implementation.

Locate the DriverProperty, DriverMethod or DriverEvent attribute that appears above the implementation.

Update the attribute declaration to set the named parameter SuppressAll to true, as shown below for a Frequency property.

[DriverProperty(SuppressAll = true)] // Code weaving disabled for this property.
[Cache]
[InvalidateCacheEntries("Bandwidth")]
[RangeCheckMinMax(0, 300, MaxInclusive = true)]
public double Frequency
{
    get
    {
        this.IO.FormattedIO.PrintfAndFlush("FREQ:RANG\n");
        double value;
        this.IO.FormattedIO.Scanf("%g", out value);

        return value;
    }
    set
    {
        this.IO.FormattedIO.PrintfAndFlush("FREQ:RANG %0.15g\n", value);
    }
}

Rebuild the driver.

Note

With this technique, other attributes that may have been added to your method, property or event by the driver designer are not modified and will remain in the source code. However, the Nimbus code weaver will ignore those attributes at build time as long as SuppressAll is set to true. To reinstate code weaving for the selected method, property or event, change the value of SuppressAll to false, or remove the use of the SuppressAll named parameter altogether.

From Solution Explorer, right click on the driver project node (the C# assembly, not the Nimbus node) and choose Properties. This will display the standard project properties page for a C# class library assembly.

Select the Build properties tab.

Locate the Conditional compilation symbols field.

If the Conditional compilation symbols field is empty, enter DisableNimbusCodeWeaving. If the Conditional compilation symbols field is not empty, enter a semicolon after the existing value(s), followed by DisableNimbusCodeWeaving. This is illutrated in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Code Weaving Disabled for the Entire Driver

Rebuild the driver.

Note
With this technique, code weaving can be enabled and disabled for the entire driver project without affecting the driver designer or any of your source code. To reinstate code weaving for your driver, simply remove the DisableNimbusCodeWeaving conditional compilation symbol.
