03/03/2022, 9:25 PMHere is the AllFunctions cfc file.
<cfcomponent displayname="Allfunctions" output="false" hint="Handle the application." >
<cffunction name="addingFunction" access="public" returnType="numeric">
<cfargument name="firstNumber" type="numeric" required="true">
<cfargument name="secondNumber" type="numeric" required="true">
<cfset var sumOfThem = arguments.firstNumber + arguments.secondNumber>
<cfreturn sumOfThem>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Here is the FuntionTest CFML file.
<cfinclude template="AllFunctions.cfc">
<cfoutput>
<H1> #AllFunctions.addingFunction(5,2)# </H1>
</cfoutput>
Yet I get the following error Variable ALLFUNCTIONS is undefined.

@Rick Morayniss if you are familiar with C# then a CFC/Component is analogous to a class, you need to instantiate it first, then you can call functions on it…

so if AllFunctions.cfc is in the same folder as your cfm file, then you can do:
Copy code
<cfscript>
allFunc = new AllFunctions();
result = allFunc.addingFunction(1,2);
</cfscript>foundeo

if it’s not in the same dir, then you can reference it relative to the web root…
new folder.sub.AllFunctions()/folder/sub/AllFunctions.cfcj

03/04/2022, 2:29 AMYou’re obviously using tags, which I love, so - the aforementioned cfscript example can just be ignored. No offense, @foundeo.

It is worth stating that CFML can be written in cfscript though and not just in cftags - the OP is a C# developer so cfscript may be much easier to follow. That above function in cfscript would look like this:
Copy code
// Allfunctions.cfc
component {
public numeric function addingFunction(
required numeric firstNumber,
required numeric secondNumber
) {
var sumOfThem = firstNumber + secondNumber;
return sumOfThem;
}

Then can then be called as foundeo posted as:

Copy code
<cfscript>
allFunc = new AllFunctions();
result = allFunc.addingFunction(1,2);

Note that ColdFusion 2021 and Lucee support static functions which you'll be familiar with in C#
