As far as I know you cannot call a custom class directly from a dashboard component.
I generally use the DashboardExtender MainClass strictly as a marshall for the instantiation and management of other purpose built objects. I don't think Dashboard Assemblies are ready for prime time. This code compiles and works as a traditional Dashboard Extender (with appropriate namespace) but will not run as an assembly:
Thanks Robb - I'm with you on the suggested solution. Custom build classes can also sit in their own separate "non-dashboard" file type to make it even more "Visual Studio"'ish experience:
But, I'm still missing a way to reference the Dashboard Assembly from an normal Extender BR, to be able to run a Data Management Step that calls "some custom code" in my Dashboard Assembly?
Cheers
