creating target in RS

RobotStudio
1

I am trying to create a tag in RS using C# i have used below code

Code:

Station station = Project.ActiveProject as Station;

// Add target.
station.ActiveTask.Targets.Add(P5);

Error:

System.NullReferenceException: ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object.’

station was null.

Could someone support me to fix this?

Thanks!

I am not a C# programmer - looking at what the error is you may not have a station open in RobotStudio?

The other thing is you would get a RAPID error if you created a Robtarget just called P5 - it needs to have all the data a Robtarget requires eg position (x,y,z), orientation (Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4), etc

Hello,
You can stop your debugger just before the line and look if your station is well initialized and your P5.

Thanks for the information!

I am not able to access the active station from robot studio (using Robot Studio 2023).

when i run and execute the code Active station is null.

but i have the active station in Rbot studio running.

so, could someone suggest the reason for this error in the code!

Thanks!

Do you have a virtual controller running in your station?

I have tried with both virtual controller running and stopped, but the result is the same for both the caes(Active station = null).
