Hello.

I have made an automation control with vb.net to pass the bmp files to jpg, but when we want create the instance in navision it gives the following error: 
This message is for C/AL programmers:

Could not create an instance of the OLE control or Automation server identified by GUID={10F16FCF-4EF8-4E90-9C55-44B2D9035C7D}
1.1:{A0DC9EB3-37D6-3FB5-8E26-C0ACABDD2B84}:’bmp2jpg’.IManage.
Check that the OLE control or Automation server is correctly installed and registered.
I can use the variable in C/AL code but at the time of executing it gives an error. I have registered the DLL with regasm.exe and I can use without any problem from another application.
It is necessary to make something additional so that it works in navision?

I am sorry for my bad english.

Thanks in advance.

    hello smoreno
    Please take a look at this website http://blogs.msdn.com/skydtsgaard/default.aspx

    It has steps on how to create a .NET DLL and access it from Navision.

    Hi,

    first of all, which Navision version do you use?

    And on the other hand, you have to create a COM interop assembly for your control. Navision can not (yet) access and run directly "pure" .NET assemblies.

    What do you want to do with that assembly? I can see that you try to convert a BMP to JPG, but from where do you get the BMP and where do you want to save the JPG (Database / File / ...)?

    HTH,

    Hi,

    I'll try this in Nav 3.60, 3.70 and 4.0. Now i get the bmp file from file, but in the future i want to take it from BLOB field. I have set a true the property “Register for COM Interop” in the project.

    This is my vb code: 
    Public Class Manage
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl

    Implements IManage
    Dim bmp As Bitmap
    Dim JPGQuality As Integer = 90

    Private Function GetEncoderInfo(ByVal mimeType As String) As System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo
        Dim j As Integer
        Dim encoders As System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo()
        encoders = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders()
        For j = 0 To encoders.Length
            If encoders(j).MimeType = mimeType Then
                Return encoders(j)
            End If
        Next j
        Return Nothing
    End Function

    Public Sub LoadBMPFile(ByVal FileName As String) Implements IManage.LoadBMPFile
        bmp = New Bitmap(FileName)
    End Sub

    Public Sub SetJPGQuality(ByVal Quality As Integer) Implements IManage.SetJPGQuality
        JPGQuality = Quality
    End Sub

    Public Sub SaveJPGFile(ByVal FileName As String) Implements IManage.SaveJPGFile
        Dim eps As System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters = New System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters(1)
        eps.Param(0) = New System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality, JPGQuality)
        Dim ici As System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo = GetEncoderInfo("image/jpeg")
        If Not bmp Is Nothing Then
            bmp.Save(FileName, ici, eps)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

Public Interface IManage
    Sub LoadBMPFile(ByVal FileName As String)
    Sub SetJPGQuality(ByVal Qualtity As Integer)
    Sub SaveJPGFile(ByVal FileName As String)
End Interface

    I don't see Methods of the Manage class in Navision, but i see those of the IManage.

    Thanks.
