How to get .Net API for VS2005 ver. 8.1.20.168

[EdMerlin]

I have some code that was developed using NationalInstruments.Common.dll ver. 8.1.20.168 by another developer.  When I installed the .Net API that was supplied with the GPIB NI-488.2 driver download it only contained ver. 7.0.0.341.  When I tried to get it from the Measurement Studio evaluation system, it was ver. 8.1.20.168.  I cannot run the code because VS 2005 says that I need ver. 8.1.20.168 and gives me many fatal errors.

I would like to use the .Net API rather than rewriting it for the NI 488.2 wrapper.  I would appreciate any help on how I can obtain this library.

Thank You,

Ed

Which NI-488 driver download did you actually download? Was the code using the native .NET interface, or the .NET wrapper? You say that you got version 8.1.20.168 from the eval version of Measurement Studio, and that VS 2005 says you need 8.1.20.168. That seems to imply that you have what VS says you need, no?

In general, the NationalInstruments.Common .NET library is available with either the NI-488 driver download, or the NI-VISA download. You do need to explicitly select its installation, though I suspect you probably already knew that.
