Building an LSB File using MS Visual Studio .NET

[Michael.Johnson]

Hi there...

I have a C file which I'm porting over from a Linux platform where I call it as a CIN & I want to just re-compile this under Windows XP so that I can use the same code on both platforms. I've been told I can do this using MS Visual Studio .net... which I have installed on my machine. However, I'm just wondering does anybody know how I actually go about building up the Project in MS Visual Studio so I can compile my .c file to a .lsb file?

Michael,

Just checking to make sure you've digested Chapter 3 of the Using External Code in LabVIEW manual, and that you've seen the How To Create a CIN in Microsoft Visual C++.NET KnowledgeBase entry that provides some .NET-specific info and a custom wizard that may be useful.

Regards,
John

Heya...

Had seen the Chapter 3 stuff ok, I've been trying it with Visual C++ Version 6.0 but have gotten to the linking stage & it keeps bombing out on me with an error of: -

Linking...
Creating library Debug/Adice.lib and object Debug/Adice.exp
Running LVSB Utility for Adice Interface CIN code Build for Windows
Error executing c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe.
Adice.dll - 1 error(s), 7 warning(s)

Followed the link to the KnowledgeBase article as well... the text wasn't really all that much help 🙂 but the Custom Aplication Wizard download at the end of the document was excellent... followed the instructions in the Readme.1st file, & have just managed to get my CIN compiled up in Visual Studio .NET... most excellent.

Many thanks for the links & information... & to Wayne S. Pelouch, who wrote the Application Wizard for the CIN compilations...

Lookers like Johnner got you going, but I'll cross reference this thread for others that might be having problems with CINs and VS.NET...
