Thread: Code example of accessing RR (SetUserVar, Execute) from a C# console program

you should be able to make an exe, and create the rr sdk obj...

you can talk to RR

v = SDK.GetUserVar("blabla")
SDK.SetUserVar("blabla", "1")

Mitch,

That is exactly what I did.

I created a Console app under Visual C# Express 2008.

I copied the SDK class source from the RR Plugins C# example.

I activate that class in "main" with

Code:

       if (SDK.Created == false) {
                    SDK.SetSDK();
                }

I made no changes to the default properties or build configuration except for the .exe output directory and to build for x86.

The app compiled fine.

When I run it, I get the "COM target does not implement IDispatch" on the first attempt to use any of the RR SDK methods.

Curiously, if instead of a Console app, I make a Windows Form app, it works fine in the main part of the app, but fails if I try to call RR from a thread that I create in the Window Form app.

I even tried an old code fragment from either you or guino and it failed. That code is somewhat similar to the plugin SDK code:

Code:

// In main

System.Type SDKType = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("RoadRunned.SDK");
object SDK = System.Activator.CreateInstance(SDKType);


// invoke RR
private String RRcom ( cmd, message ) {
	Object o = SDKType.InvokeMember(cmd, System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, SDK, new object[] { message });
	return (string) o;
}

I am at a loss.

What am I missing?

Have there been any changes to the RR COM object?

I am using .Net 3.5 on Windows 7 Pro on both 64bit and 32bit machines with the same result.

Regards,
Jim
