Pega Robotics Studio 8: which dll functions can be added to the Toolbox?
Does anyone know how I can access the GetEra() method? According to the below link it should be in mscorlib:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.japanesecalendar.getera(v=vs.110).aspx
However, it doesn't appear to be in the toolbox:
Nor is it in the namespace in the GAC:
More generally, why do so many functions which MSDN document not appear in the toolbox (apparently there are many in System.Globalization above but none appear) - which kind of functions can/cannot be used within Robotics Studio?

There is a button on the Toolbar labeled "Add Constructor for Type". When you click this, you can click on an automation and essentially select an object you'd like to create a constructor for. I'd advise you in general to use a script though as this functionality is limited, however for this use case, I believe it would work.

You cannot add it to the toolbox if it is not a static method. It is a method of the JapaneseCalendar object. You may use it within a script though. You'll need to add the appropriate references for it to work. Let me know if you need an example.

Actually I already gave a solution to the customer using a script, I was just wondering if there was a way which didn't employ scripts:
The contents of the script are as follows:
How do we add objects (like JapaneseCalendar) then, without having to write scripts to return them? I have done the above many times in the past with different classes which I couldn't find elsewhere.
