Created dll for use in other language

[Nooie]

well, I tried that too, but no success. Doh.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace CheckDate
{
    [Guid("2BE56F71-BC00-4736-8D85-9A3C6438CDA7")]
    interface ICheckDate
    {
        bool checkDate();
        void clear();
    }

    [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None), Guid("1AD0462D-4FA2-4072-B63B-8B1D88212389")]  
    public class CheckDate : ICheckDate
    {
        
        public int day
        {
            set { _day = value; }
           
        }

        public int month
        {
            set { _month = value; }
       
        }

        public int year
        {
            set { _year = value; }
      
        }
    
        public bool checkDate()
        {
            DateTime newDateTime;
            string dateString;
            dateString = _day.ToString() + _month.ToString() + _year.ToString();
            if (DateTime.TryParse(dateString,out newDateTime))
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }
        public void clear()
        {
            _day = 0;
            _month = 0;
            _year = 0;
        }

    }
}

Did you try running regasm on the assembly instead of regsvr32?

Hi Judah, I did, but I need to ship the DLL out to another machine as well, so I am assuming they would need to use regsvr32. hence trying that.

You'll need to register it on the target machine with regasm, I believe. .NET needs to be installed on the target machine too, so regasm will be there if .NET is installed.

I used the REGASM on my local machine, but I still can't see the custom control in my internal DB langauage. Once registered, they normally show. Any other way to test if its been implemented? T

[Judah Gabriel Himango]

I have some old .NET-to-COM code along with steps to register it somewhere. I'll see if I can dig that up tomorrow. p.s. as I understand it, regasm has an optional argument you can pass it to generate a tlb file from the assmebly. If you do that, can you use the resulting tlb file in regsvr32?

Checkdate.tlb is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this file type.

:confused: Thanks for all the help by the way I appreciate it! T

[Judah Gabriel Himango]

If you use a tool like OleView or some other COM object viewer, your regasm'd dll doesn't show up on the target system? It should! :-p

Hi Judah, I just downloaded oleview to see, and it is there :-) Just can't see it in my DB langauge. damn it. Oh and when I try to expand it in Oleview it complains at me COGetClassObject failed. The system cannot find the file specified. severity: SEVERITY_ERROR, facility: FACILITY_WIN32($80070002) T

[Judah Gabriel Himango]

Nooie, I'm afraid I've given you all the help I know how. Maybe someone else knows where you're going wrong. Yeah, AFAIK, doing regasm on the dll built with all the specs we just went over should work. I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas.
