New Post: How to convert multi-dimension array?

edmond_manningham — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 08:42:24 GMT

Once when I converted one unmanaged structure which contains multi-dimension array,I got one-dimension in the managed side.
Question:Why couldn't I get multi-dimension managed array as I expect?

What about this issue? 2 yeras passed :( Current feature is important for me. Any chances that tlbimp2 will support this?

New Post: Error processing post typedef types

rcollette — Wed, 25 May 2011 14:47:00 GMT

In my header file I have definitions like

/*Location connection handle */
typedef void *tLocConn;

Which result in the error

Error: Error processing post typedef types for BOOL: Expected token of type ParenClose but found Asterisk instead.

The generated NativeMethods.vb file only contains enums from the header file and no dllimports for functions.

The command line I am using is:

C:\Program Files\InteropSignatureToolkit>sigimp /includePath:"C:\Code\Shared Projects\vs2010\VstCalcTax\source" vst.h

Am I doing something wrong?

New Post: tlbimp2 setting file version?

tjohnson — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 16:03:18 GMT

these were simple changes to make.

we added the m_strFileVersion member to the TlbImpOptions class, just implemented it to use the same File Version number from the source file:

We made modifications to the ParseArguments function in tlbimp.cs:

// if the fileversion wasn't given, use the version number of the input file

if (Options.m_strFileVersion == null)

{

// get the fileversion

FileVersionInfo versionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Options.m_strTypeLibName);

Options.m_strFileVersion = versionInfo.FileVersion;

}

We also modified the DoImport function in tlbimpcode.cs to pass the file version string, and generate the new attribute:

if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(strFileVersion))

{

CustomAttributeBuilder wb = new CustomAttributeBuilder(typeof(System.Reflection.AssemblyFileVersionAttribute).GetConstructor(new Type[] { typeof(string) }), new object[] { strFileVersion });

AsmBldr.SetCustomAttribute(wb);

}

the same could be done for the product number, and i guess you could implement it to accept a value on the command line. this was beyond what we needed to do, so we didn't!

New Post: tlbimp2 setting file version?

stuartjsmith — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 13:04:12 GMT

I would also like this for the reasons outlined above - it makes it very hard to patch these dlls without the ability to set the file version. At the moment we use tlbimp, then our own custom tool for updating the file version, and then we have to resign the dll again, it's a bit of a laborious process. In lieu of this not being a feature in tlbimp2, has anyone already made the modification to allow this? Perhaps you could share the code to prevent us repeating your work?

New Post: Will this fix my problem

matvdl — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:56:43 GMT

Hello,

I have discovered an issue when a .NET class is exposed to com and assesed using VBScript - in short the following is the issue (VbScript code)

Dim Its

Dim Application

Set Application = CreateObject("dotNetCode.ApplicationClass")
Set Its = Application.Items
MsgBox Its(1).name
'The Following also works
MsgBox Application.Items.Item(1).Name
'And so does
MsgBox Application.Items()(1).Name
'But this does not work
MsgBox Application.Items(1).Name

More information on the exact issue can be found here - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbinterop/thread/4b68da54-1e24-4461-b6c1-ceb16978eed4

I believe that the implementation of iDispatch::Invoke is not entirely correct within .NET and does not follow all the rules that say VB6 followed - does this project provide the possibility to change the behavior of iDispatch::Invoke to fix this issue???

The specific rules that need to be followed are:

The rule for implementers of IDispatch::Invoke is if all of the following are true:
•the caller invokes a property
•the caller passes an argument list
•the property does not actually take an argument list
•that property returns an object
•that object has a default property
•that default property takes an argument list
then invoke the default property with the argument list.

Thanks very much for your help.

New Post: Marshall [out] arrays?

dstr — Sat, 01 May 2010 10:53:02 GMT

I'm trying to import an interface with conformant C-Style Arrays: interface ITest: IUnknown { HRESULT setBuf([in] long size, [in, size_is(size)] byte* buf); HRESULT getBuf([out] long* size, [out, size_is(, *size)] byte** buf); } There is no problem with setBuf(), I've created ConvertTo() action for tlbimp2 <Action Name="ConvertTo"> <Parameter Key="Direction" Value="[In]" /> <Parameter Key="ByRef" Value="False" /> <Parameter Key="ManagedType" Value="LPArray" /> <Parameter Key="MarshalAs" Value="(default)" /> <Parameter Key="Attributes" Value="[SizeParamIndexOffset=-1]" /> </Action> and it's marshalled as public virtual extern void setBuf(int size, byte[] buf); (I would like to get rid of size but can live with such signature). But how to handle getBuf()? Direct <Action Name="ConvertTo"> <Parameter Key="Direction" Value="[Out]" /> <Parameter Key="ByRef" Value="True" /> <Parameter Key="ManagedType" Value="LPArray" /> <Parameter Key="MarshalAs" Value="(default)" /> <Parameter Key="Attributes" Value="[SizeParamIndexOffset=-1]" /> </Action> gives public virtual extern void getBuf(out int size, out IntPtr[] buf); while I need public virtual extern void getBuf(out int size, out byte[] buf); Any idea?

New Post: Why does typedef alias to BSTR become StringBuilder?

decaf — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:12:50 GMT

I've noticed that if I have a COM interface declaring an out parameter such as

HRESULT MyMethod([out] BSTR *outVal);

The interop contains an "out string outVal" as expected;

int MyMethod(out string outVal);

But if I have:

typedef BSTR MyStringType;

HRESULT MyMethod([out] MyStringType *outVal);

The interop becomes:

int MyMethod(StringBuilder outVal);

Is this behavior really correct? I would expect an "out string" as usual.

Adding the following line below line 536 of TypeConverter.cs in the released source code seems to fix the problem:

m_nativeIndirections += builtinType.m_nativeIndirections;

Any thoughts on this?

Regards, Peter.

New Post: tlbimp2 setting file version?

tjohnson — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 13:10:48 GMT

Is there a reason that tlbimp2 is cannot set the file version to a different value to the assembly version of the generated interop assembly?

We have a situation where we need to re-build our interop but keep the assembly version the same (to keep compatibility with other assemblies which are using un-changed interfaces). unfortunately, msi patches don't seem to update the file as it relies on the file version to determine if the file should be patched... i can change the code of tlbimp2 to do set this, however i was wondering if there is a reason that this version cannot currently be set?

New Post: managed library binary compatible with COM DLL

tmusico — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:40:47 GMT

Hey guys, I am trying to build a managed library to be "binary compatible" with a VB6 COM DLL ... This DLL is part of a boxed software product, and they provide a VB6 project for you to put your code in ... Although I have done this in the past, I want to see if I can build out a managed DLL that will be "binary compatible"

anyone over there have experiance with this?

New Post: Computer troubleshooting

Pammachio — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:07:27 GMT

I all,
I have a problem on my Windows Vista that began afetr the purchase of an external Hard Disk Freecom.
A few days afetr the purchase I disconnected it while it was writing and, since that moment, every time I connect and disconnect it, the PC go to freeze mode for 5 minutes.
The same thing happen even if the hard disk is disconnected: every time I start windows it go to freeze a little after the password, and every time I connect and disconnect a usb device.
I have looked for the solution everywhere, updated windows, unistalled and installed the hard disk from the device manager but I solved the problem only when I restored a recent backup.
Yesterday the Hard disk was writing a backup while Vista was installing the updates; at the end of the proceure windows restarted automatically and the problem began again!!!
The Pc go to freeze when it starts, every time I connect or disconnect the hard disk, an usb earphone that has always worked switch on but there is no audio and I don't know how many others usb devices will have problems.
Has anyone an idea to solve this problem before I throw out of the window Vista or the the hard disk?
Thank you

New Post: Problem with ClassInterfaceType.None

olarich — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:34:23 GMT

I am having a problem with this piece of code. I can call the GetConnectionRawData method from unmanaged code (Powerbuilder), but when I try to reference the properties of ConnectionData I get errors. But If I get rid of "[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]" I have no problem accessing the properties of ConnectionData. Is there a dll conflict? Are the attributes used properly? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

New Post: COM Control Debug Configuration Issue

markdart — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:23:33 GMT

I have a follow up post related to the product I mentioned below in another post. I am not sure if it is applicable to this forum but I thought I would give it a try. The COM server control is an ocx written in c++ that also utilizes an activex wrapper. It is built as a native, MFC shared dll. I have the source. I am now able to build and register the ocx. My VB app works with it as well but here is the issue: The control works great when built with release configuration. However, when built in debug configuration it does not work. In debug, I can create an instance of the object. I can see all the events, properties and methods. The types are correct for the properties but almost all the property values state, “"Property Evaluation Failed". It seems as if they are not getting initialized when the instance gets created. I have been over all the build parameters to compare/change as much as possible to the release configuration to try to get the debug configuration working but no luck. I can break and step through in VS 2008 Pro and browse values successfully. I can provide more info if necessary but I want to make sure this is applicable to the forum. Thanks for any assistance or ideas.

New Post: DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH and DLL_PROCESS_DETACH from .NET

Avalon127 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:52:17 GMT

We're using a c++ native dll in a C# .NET application. The native dll logs the DllMain DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH and DLL_PROCESS_DETACH call into a file. During some time the .NET application runns, we find a lot if DLL_PROCESS_DETACH and DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH log entries with a time gap between 3s and 30s.

What happens here?

In my opinion, if a dll is once loaded into .NET domain, it cannot be unloaded!

New Post: TlbImp2: Why are TypeLibs generated from .NET Dlls blocked?

alexander_werner — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:27:08 GMT

The Application I'm currently working on is basically a .NET Application acting as an COM EXE-Server (localserver32) which exposes its Object Model and an ActiveX-Control to COM. The Exe is written in ATL and implements the Application Class of the Object Model (The Exe don't really do much, it is basically a loader for the much larger .NET part). The rest of the Object Model is implemented in a seperate c# DLL which is COM-Visible and its TypeLib is generated by tlbexp (and registered together with the Exe, not with regasm).

Everything works fine in Access or VB6, but tlbimp.exe and TlbImp2.exe don't allow the creation of interop DLLs from a TypeLibs generated from a c# DLLs. So the Object Model could not be used in an .NET App.

It doesn't make sense to use a TypeLib from a .NET DLL in an in-process scenario, but in an out-of-process scenario it is the only way.

Is there an other way to solve this problem?

New Post: OCX Port

markdart — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:27:16 GMT

Thanks for your reply. I went back over the repro steps from the beginning to verify my previous results and strangely enough was able to successfully register the .ocx and generate the activex wrapper. The only difference in both test regressions was that I did a VS2008 update between the 2 test regressions. It looks like now I have a c++ debug issue to figure out. I can now see the registration with OLEView. I have included the steps from the beginning below:

The original c++ code was developed using the Microsoft compiler 6.0. Here are the original build settings:

I opened the project in VS2008 Professional. Visual Studio converted the project with conversion wizard. The conversion was successful with one warning about the solution and these comments:

I was able to successfully register midiio2k.ocx in an admistrator shell using regsvr32.exe

I was able to create the axmidiiolib.dll and midiiolib.dll using aximp.exe

When I ran my app and tried tried to open the midi port I received the error:

Microsoft Visual Studio C Runtime Library has detected a fatal error in Kurzweil Librarian Editor.exe.

I went through Dependency Walker to check dependencies. These issues turned up:

MSVCR90D.DLL - Not Found
IESHIMS.DLL - Not Found

c:\windows\system32\IEFRAME.DLL

#160 - Not Bound
#159 - Not Bound
#141 - Not Bound

I believe that MSVCR90D.DLL is the debug run time (Microsoft® C Runtime Library, v. 9.0.30729.1).
It was not in the system32 directory. I retrived these files and paced them the system32 directory. I still have the "Not Bound" issues for:

#159
#141
#160
#165
#167
#142

Hey Mark, could you let me know your repro steps? It would help us to identify the problem or give you a solution.

New Post: OCX Port

markdart — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:49:57 GMT

I have a product that uses an activex wrapper and an ocx control. I also have the source for the control in c++. I was able to successfully convert it into VS2008 pro. With almost no changes to the source I was able to successfully compile with no warnings or errors. It is a MFC shared dll. I checked out the tlb and it looks good with all the events and functions listed and an embedded manifest. I used aximp to create a new activex wrapper from the tlb. However, when I try to register the ocx I get the dreaded 0x80040200 error. I have processmon but have seen no obvious issues with registration (not very familiar with that tool though). I know about Vista and UAC. I can successfully register and use the original ocx binary with an aximp generated wrapper. It is in my current product with over 1000 copies sold to date. I guess my questions are:

1 Any thoughts or ideas?

2. Is there a tool that will let me step through the registration process to see where it fails?

3. Is there a tool that will let me see what is in the ocx file?

Any comments are very much appreciated!

Mark
