Using C/Front in Visual Basic

jazzyjess

Hi,
I am trying to connect to the Navision Database from a Visual Basic application. I installed C/Front from the 4.0 SP1 installation CD.
However, when i was trying to add the C/Front.dll as a reference to my VB project, i got "Can't add a reference to the specified file" error.

Thinking that i might not have registered the dll properly, i went to register it using the regsvr32 command, but i got "CFront was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found" !!!

The dll file can't be corrupted because its from the 4.0 SP1 installation CD.....can anyone help me?


Thanks a lot....
JJ

Hi,
You must add reference to microsoft.navision.cfront.cfrontdotnet.dll and COPY cfront.dll and cfrontsql.dll to directories your application is executed. If you debug your application then you must copy these dll's to VB debug directory too.

Hi Gedas,

What do you mean with "You must add reference to microsoft.navision.cfront.cfrontdotnet.dll"?

I do have the same problem with Navision 4.0 SP2.

Thanks.

If my memory serves me right, in VB you need to click on tools(Project?) menu and references and find the dll or add if it's not there. then tick the checkbox.
