function create_TurnProfile()

[nevio64]

Hi all,

First of all excuse me for my English...

I have a problem with a vb.net program which worked on version X8 but doesn't work anymore with version X9.

In order to use the function create_TurnProfile() I used the dll "SilhouetteBoundary.DLL" in this way:

 

Public Const CHookDLL As String = "SilhouetteBoundary.DLL"

 

<DllImport(CHookDLL, EntryPoint:="create_TurnProfile", CharSet:=CharSet.Auto)> _

 

           Public Shared Function RunTurnProfile(not_used As Integer) As Integer

           End Function

 

Dim rv As Integer = CHookInterop.RunTurnProfile(0)

 

Now, with version 9,when I start the program the following error shows up:  HRESULT:0X8007007F

From the data I found the function was put in another location: Do you know where it is and how I can use it?

 

Thanks, Nevio Bassi - Metal World S.p.A.

Nevio,

 

It appears that your vb.net (NET-Hook) is calling a function via a call into (C++) C-Hook DLL

Dim rv As Integer = CHookInterop.RunTurnProfile(0)

That C-Hook would need to be recompiled for X9, using the C-Hook SDK for X9.

 

*** Ignore the above, if I had read all of your post, I should have noticed that the "C-Hook" being referenced is the  SilhouetteBoundary.DLL, which of course part of Mastercam.

 

I will look into this more today, and I'll get back to you...

 

 

-------- * Update * ------

 

Nevio,

 

Try this...

 

Change this ->

 

Public Const CHookDLL As String = "SilhouetteBoundary.DLL"

 

To this ->

 

Public Const CHookDLL As String = "MCCAD.DLL"
