Thanks Tomasz...!
You might consider the "Shared assembly" approach - as it (if I get
it right) seems to offer the best of two (binding) worlds: Version
independence - but preserving the integrity of the automation code,
as well as providing Intellisense features giving clues to correct
calls to methods and properties. If interested, I would be happy to
e-mail you a few (scanned) pages on the topic i found in "Visual C#
2005" book (Wrox) You can get me at jens@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I did try the example you gave (very simple - new windows project -
add a button, copy/paste the code - and add the "using
System.Reflection;" statement in the top - now run/debug... But only
to get "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." -
so i'm really not having a lot of luck... (yes, have office
installed... all applications running...)
Is there nobody else than Tomasz (who really should not spend his
time teaching a newbee like me about general COM bindings) who's
using the object model in C# - and can give me the code lines
(including any "using" statements and other necessary preparations)
for
---------------------------------
Broker.Application ab = new Broker.Application();
string currentPath = ab.DatabasePath;
---------------------------------
or any other example showing how to exploit the AmiBroker object
model in C#???
Thanks and regards
Jens Tiedemann
