Hi, I'd need to add more actions such as for Collection Manipulation, JSON, XML etc. For Office applications like Excel I use their object model in their own code editor. For everything else I plan to use Visual Studio. Which type of project should I use: Windows Forms, WPF, Console App or something else? Are there any best practices for Blue Prism? I don't plan to create custom DLL, just the Code Stages with existing dependencies. Thank you for any advice!

I typically create a .NET Framework Console Application in order to build/test code that will ultimately go into a Code Stage.

Just make sure you choose an appropriate.NET Framework version. I tend to go v4.7.2 and I’m working with BP v6.10.4.

I assume you may need to pull in a Nuget or two from time to time. In those cases you want to make sure the version of any dependency DLLs don’t conflict with the standard DLLs Blue Prism deploys in the Automate folder.
