.dnet libraries

[tmoodley]

Hi,

We want to write a motion control aplication using the VS Express C++ with a .dnet framework 2.0. We would like to use the existing C examples provided as guideline to build out application. Currently I have the following problems:

1.  The NIMCexample.c file does not compile in debug mode. We have a buffer overun as well. I suspect this due tot he fact that the C code wants to use malloc to manage memory and C++ is using another memory manager.

Can any body suggest what we can do to overcome this problem?

I also heard that using c# is probably a better alternative to C++ when working with c code.

Thanx in advance.

Regards

Hello Thivash,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  In order to use the NI-Motion dlls in .NET languages, you must create a wrapper around them.  Here is a knowledgbase that describes how to do this:

 How Do I Import a DLL in Microsoft Visual Studio.NET?

Another option is to try and run the Visual C++ 6.0 examples in an unmanaged code environment in Visual C++ .NET.
