Hi all,

 

I am building a dll using the .net framework specifically, visual basic .net. Can I execute the functions in such a dll from an advanced scripting command? Can the dllCall function execute such a dll or does it only execute com dlls?

There is an advanced script function called DLLCALL but you can't access a .net DLL, not a managed DLL which needs the CLR. You can find full details in the Dragon help file "search Dragon help for DLL"

 

Instead of creating a .net DLL why don't you just create a .net executable with command line arguments to call the different functions, that will work in exactly the same way and you can then run it using ShellExecute within an advanced script.

PL] An excellent suggestion and one I am going to follow. <smile

 

Thanks

Yes, that seems like a good idea. Maybe the information about not being able to call a managed DLL that needs the CLR runtime is the reason that my attempts failed (on another thread). Once again, thank you Lindsay!
