DLL Registration problem

ajaybabuCh

Hi

I have registered on DLL file. After that I used that as an automation in Navision.

Again I have unregistered the DLL file, but still is showing the dll name in the automation list. How to remove the dll name in the automation list

thanks and regards

Have you restarted the NAV client after you unregistered the library?

Hi Kine

Restarting means. I didn't install navision server on my machine.

I only install client. Could you please tell me clearly

Just close the client and reopen it again. The Automation list is cached until you close the client... it means that if you have NAV opened and you unregister the dll, you can still see it in the list. But after you close the client and reopen it again, it will be gone...

Hi Kine

I did that but it is still there.

Is there any way that we can clear navision cache

kine

No, you cannot clear the cache. If the automation is still thee and you have unregistered it, it means

1) Unregister is not correctly working in the dll
2) You have another instance of the DLL registered (e.g. another version). Look into the Automation table in Nav to look at the path to the DLL if it is same as you are unregistering.

Hi Kine

I placed the dll in the client folder and I registered. But in the automation table the path is showing as follows

C:\WINDOWS\DLLFileName.tlb

is It correct Or wrong. Why it has taken as .tlb extension

Just read some documentation about DLL, TLB and .NET libraries etc.

Hi Kine

I unregistered .tlb file also. Know , automation llist is not showing the dll name. But Could you please tell me , if I register dll file will it create tlb file also

check the windows system, if the dll is unregisterd in the registry

But Could you please tell me , if I register dll file will it create tlb file also

depending on how you created your dll (what tools you used) your dll maybe capable or not of generating its tlb (dlls usually have functions inside them that can help to generate tlb). Most likely Navision uses those functions to generate the tlb for later use (for example when you press F5 to pick up functions syntax in Navision)
