Where can I get some good advice on using the IMAPI2.dll. Pickens are very slim and limited in VB 2008 Pro, and if there is an abundance, I just haven't came across it yet. I will follow-up on all links. My OS is Vista, and everything is up to date, except me.
View 4 Repliesi want to write a small app which enables the user to burn some files on cd/dvd. Something like:
- Make an export from related DB Tables with informations
- Collect customers informations
- zip everything
-burn on cd (its a settlement related tool)
I start making program that will burn CD/DVDs, and everything is okay. I found way to burn with IMAPI2 API, but now I have problem: I can't get progress bar of that burning.
Here is code:

I'm trying to understand how to route the events of my IMAPI2 burning progress but not sure how to do it. I've coded event handling before, but just not familiar with the IMAPI2 library so having some trouble.
This is their sample code in c#:

I am implementing IMAPI2 into my vb.net project but ran into a wall. I am getting the message Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream' when trying to start the burn. I googled around and found this is something that microsoft hasn't fixed.. which basically renders IMAPI2 useless in vb.net.
I found a post on codeproject.com by eric hadden who combined the IMAPI2.dll and IMAPI2fs.dll into an c# interop file. I also see the IBURN interop in microsoft SDK samples. I'd like to use either, but it's in c# and I'm using vb express. Does anyone know a way to get the interop into visual basic or a way around "Unable to cast object of type 'IMAPI2FS.FsiStreamClass' to type 'IMAPI2.IStream'"?
