diadem and c#

[ccr1]

I would like to link Diadem and a C# DLL ( Class) for a particular job. The class already exists, and i would prefer to have to rewrite anything. How can i call this DLL in a DIADEM script

Thanks for answer

I haven't tried this yet, so I'm only going to be able to answer in approximate terms.  It should be possible to create a class factory using C#.  If you do that, and register the class factory, then you might be able to use "CreateObject" with the ProgID of your class in VBScript to create an object from which to access your functionality.  Likewise if you are creating a GUI component, you might be able to embed it using SUD's ActiveX container.

Unless somebody else knows more, you're going to have to figure out the details yourself though.

I hope this at least helps a little,

Hello CCR1!

The keyword is 'COM Callable Wrapper' or short 'CCW'. Just have a look at 'Exposing .NET Components to COM' to get the details you need. In DIAdem you can test the sample with this code:

Option Explicit
 
Dim oTester
 
Set oTester = CreateObject("Tester.Numbers")
 
MsgBox oTester.GetDay()
