NAV and C# integration

KeeperRU

Where Can I read about C# integration?
I read some articles, but without working examples - i cannot repeat that

I am looking for easy example:
1) Run from Navision some application on C# (some form with few buttons)
2) C# apllication return value to Navision

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Express

You can try to write a Automation control. See here

KeeperRU

I cannot register my own automation in system.

I write .bat filte like:

set regasm=%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe
set gacutil=C:\program files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0a\bin\gacutil.exe

%regasm% “myAutomation.dll” /tlb:myAutomation.tlb
%gacutil% /i “myAutomation.dll”

but it didn't work, because of errors...

Is there any articles about automation register?

Can you show the error that you are getting?

KeeperRU

Thank you, I beat that problem.
And already can return String from C# to Navision.

But How open a form in C# from Nav? Is that possible?
Nothing happened.

KeeperRU

If it not possible to open form through Automation Server, maybe there are different variants?

KeeperRU

I call method from Nav, that open Application Form on C#.
And have that error:
Message: Could not load file or assembly '........' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

My project consist of 2 .dll
Maybe problem with that?

How properly register them, so they find each other

KeeperRU

Ok, I get it.
In my code was 3 projects : 2 library class, windows form class.
In our situation we can use only library classes, and I combine 2 classes in 1.

Experiment is over.
Unfortunately this is impossible to install .NET FRAMEWORK + Microsoft SDK
on every computer working with NAV + properly register .dll on every computer.

I wonder, how create solution and install it ONLY on Nav Server, so that solution may work on every Client Nav?

In 3-tier it sounds reasonable, but I heard in Nav 2013 no more Automation??
