VB.NET Example Only 32-bit?

[jvavra]

I only seem to be able to get the VB.NET example "Continuous Acquisition with NI-DMM in VB.NET" to work when I set my build target to 32-bit. If I run it in 64-bit, I get an error that "An attempt was masde to load a program with an incorrect format".

Is it possible to run this in 64-bit? The rest of my project is set for 64-bit.

Hello, 

Some of our older DMMs only work in 32-Bit. To make sure that you can use the DMM with your OS, can you open NI MAX and try to use a test panel. If you cannot, then you are not going to be able to use this DMM with your current OS.

I hope that this helps you.

Thanks, but that's not the question I was asking. I am attempting to either use the NI-provided example "Continuous Acquisition with NI-DMM in VB.NET" in Visual Studio with a 64- bit target architecture, or alternately add niDMM.vb to my 64-bit Visual Studio project and have it work. However, both cases generate errors for an architecture mismatch.

You will need to modify the project yourself and link against nidmm_64.dll.

Marcos,

I added a reference to nidmm_64.dll, and I continue to get two errors when attempting to build the example in Visual Studio:

1) Unable to locate referenced assembly: (here is a path to a file named Interop.CWUIControlsLib.dll"

2) A single valid machine type compatible with the input type library must be specified.

This clearly seems like an architecture mismatch, despite adding the 64-bit dll and setting my taret to 64-bit in Visual Studio.
