    Definitely usefull!
    But is is possible to make a program that can be called from the command-prompt?
    Or via Automation?

    This is needed for importing files without user-interaction.

    Can you explain how can register the automation?

    I have tried the regsvr32 but then I get the error the startadress for dllregisterserver could not be found.

    The regasm worked but I could not found the automation in Navision, What name should i have?

    I have written the following in dosprompt
    regsvr32 "C:\Documents and Settings\malasto\Mina dokument\mina\encoding\COMEncodingConverter.dll"

    regasm COMEncodingConverter.dll

    After you register object with regasm (regsvr32 dones't work with .NET)

    you sould have the name COMEncodingConverter in automation list.

    Can you find COMEncodingConverter with regedit ?
    have you installed .NET 2.0 ?
    Can you run the GUI version ?

    Yes

    I found the solution.
    I used the wrong syntax to reg. the dll file...

    The right syntax is


    c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>regasm /tlb:COMEncodingConverter.t
    lb COMEncodingConverter.dll
  • antiloopantiloop Member Posts: 10
    Now I found the automation but when I try to create the automation i navision, I get the error"Could not create an instance of the OLE control..."

    What am I doing wrong?

    I have looked in this link
    http://demiliani.com/blog/archive/2005/09/19/2965.aspx but no success.

    I failed in the step gacutil, you need a strongname..

    Sorry for the delayed answer

    Have you done this ? It works for me.
    CREATE(autEnc);
autEnc.Convert('UTF-8', 'UTF-8', 'c:\a.txt', 'c:\b.txt');

    Do you want the source code ?

    It would be nice if you could make a setup file for this automation. Is this a possibility??

    Hi,
    I have had this problem as well, and I found a solution that works for me.
    when the dll and tlb is created with regasm.exe it needs to be in the cside client folder so NAV can see it. Otherwise you might have to register it in the global assembly cash. But I have not tried that.

    So I copted the files to the client folder and ran this statement, and now it works.
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\CSIDE Client>c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe COMEncodingConverter.dll /tlb:COMEncodingConverter.tlb

    Best
