Using the PowerSolutionDOTNetOLE Class Library

The classes within the PowerSolutionDOTNetOLE DLL are for use with VB.NET and C#.NET.  They cannot be used with VB6.

Before you can use the classes within the PowerSolutionDOTNetOLE DLL, your VB.NET or C#.NET project must have a reference added to the DLL.

If you have received a project from elsewhere, or when opening the examples provided, it may also be necessary the first time you open the project, to add a reference to the DLL.

• For either case, follow the steps below...
  
• In Visual Studio, start a new project, or open an existing project.
  
• Open the References node in the Solution Explorer window..
  
• Check if the PowerSolutionDOTNetOLE reference exists there.  If it already exists, ensure the warning icon does not appear beside the reference.
  
• If the warning icon appears (usually if you open a project sent from somebody else), right click the PowerSolutionDOTNetOLE reference and select REMOVE.  Then continue with the steps below.
  
• If the reference exists, but there is no warning triangle, then the reference is setup correctly and you can then use the classes within the DLL.
  
• If no reference exists, add by selecting from the menus, PROJECT, ADD REFERENCE.
  
• Click the BROWSE button.
  
• Browse for and select the DLL (usually installed to C:\Program Files\Delcam PLC\PowerSolutionDOTNetOLE API Classes\PowerSolutionDOTNetOLE.dll)
  
• It should then appear in the Selected Component window of the Add Reference form.
  
• Finally, click OK.

The reference should now appear, and you can now use the classes in your application.
