TDMS C DLL can be used in a VB Project?

[Tomacco]

Hello

We have a project in vb that uses measurement information kept in an excel file.

Now we want to use this information along with information contained in a TDMS file.

I've tried using the TDM C DLL  provided in http://ni.intellisurvey.com/run/2007codelicenseagree, unsuccesfully.

When I try to add the reference to the .dll, this error pops out:

"Cannot add the reference to "/filepath/nilibdcc.dll. Make it sure you can access the component or  it's a valid COM component"

(The message is a translation from spanish)

What i'm doing wrong? It's possible to use it?

Thanks

Hi Tomacco,

the TDM-C-DLL was designed to access TDM(S) files using C.

Otherwise it is possible to access DLLs from vb. Please refer to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/106553. But I havn't tried this for the TDM-C-DLL.

Another option is to use Measurement Studio if you want to access TDMS from within VB.

Thanks!

The Measurement Studio option looks far more simple, so I will try it.
