calling a vi in a project from another vi

[Jairathod]

Hi,

I am not very good at labview. someone shared the attached files. I can use this project to send files via FTP . There is a file 'test.vi' ( under Labvolution.sftp) which i want to call from another vi running separately. Does anyone know how to do it? i cannot run 'test.vi' as a standalone vi(  vi throws an error saying that the specified class of .net is not available in labview, but i can run this file from the project).

Please help.

Thank you.

Just drag the VI on to your block diagram and wire up any controls and indicators that are on the connector pane.

But if a .NET class is missing, you need to fix that.  What class is missing?

I do not think this is going to work. I tried that already. The vi is a part of project.I gave all the references that are used in this vi, but still it wont work by just dragging and dropping it in another vi.

Also i dont know what .net class is missing.( I am not much familiar with .net) I am doing normal FTP transfer.

Additionally ,I also saw FTP send and receive example from NI, but that does not work( i created an FTP server online and try to send text file but did not work). However the labvolution work with the online server. That is why i am using labvolution.

Thank you.

I can see that there is an assembly "Labvolution.Network.Tools.dll" under the "labvolution.network.tools.references" folder. I imagine that the source project has had this added and thus why your example runs - the project can load the assembly. In your new project you don't have a reference to this assembly. You probably need a copy the file into your project (relative to the lvproj file or sub-folder) and it will be able to find it.
