.net controller does not create all functions

[Paul_Knight_Lockheed_Mart]

I have a .Net assembly, which I have attached that when I run the Create .NET Controller all I get is two functions.  They are the Initialize and Close.  I don't get any of the other public functions in the .fp file.

Using a .Net Viewer like .Net Reflector I can see all the public functions that are suppose to be in the dll.  The .dll is a 64-bit assembly and I am running LabWindows 2013 SP2.  I am trying to develop a 64-bit application and need this dll to talk to the instrument.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

This KnowledgeBase Article references the problem you are having. Basically, for unsupported types or for private/protected entities, the functions will not be generated in the instrument.

I hope that helps to get you started.

Steven,

So basically nothing can be done.

Paul,

Looking at the attached DLL, it appears that all the classes are in the default namespace. If they can be added to a new or different namespace, you should be able to create a .NET Controller in LabWindows™/CVI™. Beyond that, there is nothing I'm aware of that can be done.

Steven,

I have talked to the vendor, they are unwilling to recompile the dll since it works for everybody else and not LabWindows.

I've been asking around on how to approach this. It would theoretically be possible to write a .NET wrapper which exposes your needed functions in a named namespace. You could then create a .NET Controller for that wrapper.

Yes I can see how someone could do that using C#.  I will give it a shot.
