call a dll from a ilogic rule

[swordmaster]

okay, I created this  Public class and Public function  vb project

Public Class ClassNCupload

PublicFunction ncload(ByVal strNcName As String) AsString

Dim y AsNew WPNCTR.NCTRService

Dim result As String

Dim strErrDesc AsString = ""

Try

result = y.NCTransfer(strNcName, strErrDesc)

If result = "000"Then

MsgBox("NC upload successful")

Else

MsgBox("Error in WPNCTR - "& result & vbCrLf & strErrDesc)

EndIf

Catch ex AsException

MsgBox(ex.Message.ToString & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ex.ToString)

Finally

EndTry

EndFunction

End Class

then compiled it as a dll NCupload.dll

This is a simplified version of my external rule

Add Reference "NCupload.dll

Sub Main

Dim strNcName As String

strNcName = "my string"

' now here i want to call the NCupload.dll , pass the value of strNcName to the dll and have it run

' anyone poin

End Sub

Can anyone explain how  i call the dll and pass the string variable value

thanks

Adam, thanks for the link to the article it is very interesting.

Prior to seeing this I had a lot of help from Mike Deck at Autodesk and i can now successfully call my dll from the ilogic rule 🙂

Hi Swordmaster
and Hi MaheshwarMD
I'm from the rule set used ilogic .dll file
But I have difficulties later
I've used the .dll file as a form
There currently are having problems are not used vb.net code dialog

Example simple as

dim a as double = 1
dim b as double = 2
dim c as double
c = a + b
msgbox (c) o

I can not Addreference in ilogic, because it does not contain the dialog as the instructions
Thanks
