I did have some luck with C#. We were creating a new customer setup wizard
and have been able to do it in C#;
Using Visual Studio 2008 all you have to do is right click on the project
and choose 'properties'.
On the Application Tab, click on the 'assembly information' button and check
'Make Com Visible' checkbox
On the 'Build' Tab Set the output path to to the RMS Addinis directory. That
way Visual Studio copies all the files needed to the proper place. There are
several files that will be added besides the dll. Also check the 'Register
for Com Enterop' checkbox towards the bottom.
On the 'signing' tab, check the checkbox 'sign the assembly' and on the
dialog that pops up give the file a name and it will create a SNK file in
the project directory. There is no need to use a password.
That is all the changes you need to make. VS will create the strongly named
key, register the assembly, add it to the GAC, and create the dll in the
addinis folder.
To get the intellesense to work, in the "process" entry point, where RMS
passes the session class, assign the session to a new variable.
For instance this code, where MySes is the session passed from RMS, will
assign the session to 'ses' and then the intellesense will work for the
variable 'ses'. Don't ask me why you have to do that but that is the only
way I've found to get it to work.
public bool Process(QSRules.SessionClass MysSes){
QSRules.SessionClass ses = new SessionClass();
ses = MysSes;
}
Hope this helps. And sorry it took so long to reply. I just happend to be
scrolling through old posts and came accross it.
