pass dotnet reference

[Lorin Kundert]

I am able to open a .NET assembly and close it without any problems within teststand, but I can't seem to pass the reference to a Labview VI, is there some known problem with doin that?

Hi clk020,
Currently, .NET references that were originally opened in a LabVIEW VI cannot be used in TestStand and vice versa (.NET references opened in TestStand cannot be used in a LabVIEW VI). TestStand does not get a real .NET reference from a VI. It only gets the address to the location where the .NET reference is stored inside LabVIEW's memory space. You can pass this address from one VI to the next without any problems using TestStand. However, only LabVIEW knows how to use the address. Since the address is stored in a TestStand Object Reference variable, it makes it look like you can use the reference with the .NET adapter. The address is stored in a TestStand Object Reference variable so that in a future version of LabVIEW and TestStand you will be allow to use .NET references in both environments.

Hope this helps,
Jose
