Generate RPC calls

[Taylor.Kendall]

I have the *.idl file for a RPC toolset (and all the backend code)  but I was wondering if there is a good way to use an *.idl to generate a dll or some other object that can be easly cast into LabVIEW? Or better yet a RPC service that can be called directy in labivew.  

I have seen some examples of this done in XML-RPC but I was wondering if someone had done this with .NET or maybe ActiveX.  Or by accessing the RPCserver.dll

Hi tsksesa, 

I'm not familiar with RPC, and from searching our internal knowledgebase, asking more senior engineers here in the department and scouring the internet, all I could come up with seems to be the same as what you have already found. Namely the XML-RPC examples and code. If you can convert your *.idl file into a dll there shouldn't be any problem creating a LabVIEW wrapper for it, but as far as I am aware there isn't any existing code or documentation on it. I'm not sure if you saw this link: 

http://mbed.org/cookbook/Interfacing-with-LabVIEW

But it seems like it may have some useful information for you. 

Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help try and figure them out.
