Using a .Net library.

[webber]

Hi,
I need to connect to an application server via a .net library (actually consisting in 2 dll's).
Is there a way to make them work with basic4pocketpc?
Thanks in advance.

Unless you are lucky you will probably need a "wrapper" library that conforms to Basic4ppc conventions to interface to the other dlls. Libraries can be written in C# or VB.NET and for the desktop you can use Microsofts' C# or VB Express IDEs which are free but they won't compile for devices. For the device you can use SharpDevelop which is free and you will also need the Microsoft .NET SDKs, also free.

I have no idea about writing a wrapper, could you tell me where can I find some example about it?
Thank you very much.

Can you send a link to the dll?

I'm afraid it is not very simple to wrap these dlls if they do not have some English documentation. Do you think you can find the documentation?

 

[webber]

Hi Ariel,
the documentation that I have is a reference to methods and properties available on these dlls and it is written in italian.

If you think they may be somehow useful I may translate the parts you need.
Thanks

Send them as is, just point me to which functions and methods you need.

 

[webber]

Hem..., actually I'd need all methods and functions but I don't want you to spend much time on it.
If you can give me some hint and/or example about doing the 'dirty job' I'll try to do it.

The part of manual regarding the components starts at page 11.
Thank you again, bye.
