.Net DLL as a automation variable - No class shown in selection

Strew

Dear Community,

i got a question about using .Net DLL's in Navision Classic Client.


I wrote a test dll for testing how to implement da dll file into navision,
that it is able to use as automation variable.

Picture of my C# class (developed in .net 4.5.2)




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I added my dll with regasm and into the gac with following commands:

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe" "C:\Users\Jean-Pierre.Schmidt\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\DemoDLLA\DemoDLLA\bin\Release\DemoDLL.dll" /tlb:"C:\Users\Jean-Pierre.Schmidt\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\DemoDLLA\DemoDLLA\bin\Release\my.tlb"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\gacutil.exe" /i "C:\Users\Jean-Pierre.Schmidt\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\DemoDLLA\DemoDLLA\bin\Release\DemoDLL.dll"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here you can see how it looks like, when i selected my DLL.

Hi Strew,

please refer to this German article on how to create proper Interface and stuff for using .NET DLL as Automation. An Automation created this was can also be used in newer versions as DotNet type.

Use .net 2 or 3.5 to register the dll instead of 4.

With .Net 3.5 and 2.0 it isn't working, too.

Any other suggestions?

You simply need to post the dll in this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\**\RoleTailored Client\Add-ins

Where ** is your version no of dynamics nav. Like in case of 2013R2 it is 71 etc.

By adding this, you will be able to see the dll in navision.

Once the DLL is available there you can go in NAV make a new Datatype of DotNet and there you will find your DLL with all Methods you have declared in C#.

Let me know if you have any other question.

Dear zohaibu95,

i've already tried this, but i read that this feature using addin folder ist
for RT Client. I'm not a specialist, if I'm wrong please correct me.

Here is the file:


Finding my DLL and Class is working fine, but using it throws this error:



Translated Error: The .NET-Interoptyp can not be used for the code in the classic CSide-Runtime.


Look here, this guy has the same version & same problem with AddIn Folder:

My Failure was that i didn't checked the checkbox -> "Com-DLL visible" and the display ID over the function
