VB6 To .NET Interop - Types And Structs?
Dec 2, 2009
I'm working on some interpo between VB6 and VB.NET and I've hit (another?) brick wall.I need to pass an array of "stuff" between VB6 and VB.NET. This contains an ADO recordset and 4 string values. There could be any number of these 5 items passed, so they will have to be an array of whatever.Seemed to me that in VB I should create a Type and in .NET a Struct, then it should be easy. However...
On running the VB app it fails to start with an error "Function or interface marked as restricted, or the function uses automation type not supported in Visual Basic"

I'm really struggling with the following pinvoke call. I've tried numerous different ways of doing this but still no joy. The call runs through, but I get a 'Bad parameter' message back with suggests there is something wrong with the struct, since I've ran through a c++ example of this code and the parameters are all correct.

I need assistance generating a xml file by reading values from an array of structs.
my struct looks like this:
public structure myStruct
dim ID as int
dim myArray1 as boolean
dim myArray2 as boolean
dim myArray3 as boolean
dim x as int
dim y as int
I have several instances of these structs. I also have universal variables that are declared outside of the structs. I am looking to generate a xml file like this:
[Code]...
But how would I assign the values of each element by reading them in from the struct? Or do I need to use the XmlSerializer Class instead?

That is the question. Is there anything you can do with c++ unions that you can't with c# Explicit structs?

I have an assignment where I must read the information from a text file into an array of structs, so that when a part number is input, the correct price will be displayed.
the file is a text file named shoeinfo.txt
it looks like this: BZB34,40.99
BZJ25,54.50
JMM97,14.99
[Code].....
unfortunately I am unable to figure out how the code is to be read into the array. i.e. item(0).partnum = BZB34 item(0).price = 4099D

I have been searching for a while now, but I still can't seem to figure this out. I wrote a rather large program, and to make things more efficient I started to create structs to store more info in a variable.All was well replacing my old code with new code, till I reached a certain point and found that blindly using a loop of integers to access the indexes of the array wouldn't work anymore... I need to access a specific struct by the information contained in a single variable within the struct (like a hashtable key), but can't seem to figure out how.
Is it possible for me to go through my array indexes in a fashion like this?:
Dim myArray(TableCount) As myStruct
Dim TableName As String = "SomeTable"

I would like to store references to a bunch of structs in a collection. The general scaffolding looks like this:
Structure myStructType
Dim prop1 as String
Dim prop2 as int
End Structure
[Code]....
now this doesn't work, because it's referencing the same memory. What I would really want is the 'pass reference by value' behaviour that is also used for reference types, so that I can easily keep producing more of them.
Is there any way to fix this other than to make the structs into classes? Is this actually a proper way to use structs, or do I have it all wrong?

I have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.

I just converted the following code from c# to vb.net. It is functional and works correctly with my company's firmware/devices. My next challenge. Previous serialport code used much more readable structs which where then converted (after building a packet) into byte() automatically as part of the serialport encoding. (this is my understanding)How could I
1. morph byte arrays 'ToSocket' and 'ToMTP' below into structs and
2. convert into byte array for Socket.BeginSend(byte(),.....) to stream out to remote devices?

This might be a bit of stupid question but I need some clarification. I'm somewhat new to .NET and have created a EXE that had to reference an existing COM DLL. In doing so, Visual Studio 2010 automatically created an "Interop" DLL that it needs/uses to work with the legacy COM DLL.
I have deployed my project and included this Interop DLL with it (in the same folder) and everything is working fine. However, I have other applications that will need to use this same legacy COM DLL. Is it okay to reference it they same way in each application and keep deploying the "Interop" DLL with each application? Unfortuantely, all of these small applications go in the same folder and each use the same Interop DLL (so it will already exist there if it's used by another app.) I'm forced to having them in the same folder because these applications are being called as a way of customizing a parent application. As such it only looks in it's local folder when it wants to run a "custom" app. I'm just concerned if one the EXE's is ever removed and they take out the Interop DLL, then the others that still depend on it will fail.
So, I was wondering if it is possible or a good idea to put that Interop DLL in the GAC? I went ahead and installed the Interop DLL into the GAC and then removed the Interop DLL from the folder where my EXE runs and it failed to work. I get an error that says "Could not load file or assembly". I'm stuck on getting this working.
Do I need to reference the Interop DLL in my project differently such that it's now from the GAC? or Do I need to add something to my .NET code like Assembly.Load to make it work? Do I need to create that Interop DLL myself using TLBIMP?

I am trying to use a 3rd-party Interop assembly called SmartWIM.
I have added it as a reference and added an Import statement
Imports SmartWIMLib
I then initilalise it with
Dim objSmartWim As New SmartWIM
All pretty standard stuff, I've done this countless times with Interops. However, whenever I try and use any methods I get the following error [code]...

I'm kinda new to using VB.NET and certainly with the Excel Interop.I have the impression that I'm doing something wrong in these simple procedures. I keep getting errors on them:
[Code]...
The first procedure fills a combobox with all the worksheet names of the workbook.The second procedure copies all cells in the selected worksheet to an array.The error is the following: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.I think the error is in the cleanup part, when I set the objects to nothing and close everything. Can someone confirm if this is good or wrong code and maybe point me in the right direction?

I Programe a COM Library in VS2008 to use in Excel , but I'm stuck with an error that I don't understand.
I use this two classes , that compile and register OK. One Class QBitems return a nongeneric collection of QBItem but when I tried to use the Add and/or Remove Method, I receive the following error in Excel VBA :
Run-time Error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method.
I added a class (SImpleClass) in the library and I called from VBA it returned the QItems collection without problem.
NEW: When I replace the QBItem object with a string in the Collection QBItems everytthing works OK. It looks like interface doesn't like to pass an object like QBitem class
Excel/VBA:
Sub Pru()
Dim obj As New CollectionCOMClass.SimpleClass
Dim Itms As New CollectionCOMClass.QBItems

I have a .NET application that interops with a VB6 COM DLL. After installing the application on a Vista machine, I try to execute the code that consumes that COM component and I get an error attempting to read or write protected memory. The system's DEP is set to only essential programs and services, but apparently that automatically applies to .NET applications. When I tried to exclude the application from DEP, it said that DEP must be on for this program (could not be turned off). I had to use the bcedit.exe program to manually turn DEP off system wide and then reboot. After that, the application ran without a hitch, but this is not the route we want to go for our users. Are there any solutions/recommendations for this? It seems as though DEP has been more of a headache than not.

The Current Setup:So, I can use the following code to save a file as an XLS:
_myWorkbook.SaveAs("FileName.xls", Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookNormal)
I can also use the following code to save a file as an XLSX (Since I use Office 2010):
_myWorkbook.SaveAs("FileName.xlsx", Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookDefault)
I have tried (unsuccessfully) to save the file as an XLSX using the following code:
_myWorkbook.SaveAs("FileName.xlsx", Excel.XlFileFormat.xlExcel12)Why does this not work? Last I checked, Excel 12 was Excel 2007 (a version that supports XLSX). Am I missing something?
I get a This extension can not be used with the selected file type error)

I have Office 2007 installed on my Win7 development machine, however I want my Office-reliant VB.Net app to reference/work with, Office 2003 and above. I tried installing the Office 2003 interops redistributable but the installation tells me that I need
to have Office 2003 installed. Is there a way I can install the Office 2003 interops so that my app can have references to Office 2003 and thus work on Office 2003, 2007 & 2010?
