Thread: First attempt at .Net Extension

First attempt at .Net Extension Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have only now began experimenting with the .Net Extension in SLX 7.2. I have tried following the example found in DevLogix 111.7 (page. 247) but am having a problem.

When clicking the button on the SLX form nothing happens/opens. Out of curiousity i msgbox out the SLXExt, which is populated by:

SLXExt = Application.Managed.Create("SLX Extension 1", "SLX_Extension_1.MainForm")

and nothing/blank was returned. As this variable gets used in the next line:

rVal = Application.Managed.Run(SLXExt, Form.CurrentID)

i thought it would be expected to have a value. This may be the reason it doesnt work it may not. Any ideas?

If you're not getting anything back in the SLXExt variable then that means your extension is not being created/loaded. If this is the case then you can look at one of the following:

1) Ensure that .NET Extensions are properly registered on the machine. You can do this by running the "RegisterSLXNetExtentions.bat" batch file in your SalesLogix directory.
2) Make sure you've released the extension (unless you're running SLX as admin)
3) Make sure you're using the right values for the extension title and the namespace.classname parameters when calling create.
4) Make sure that the class you're loading (the namespace.classname you're passing as the second parameter) either inherits from BaseRunnable, or actually in your case since the class appears to be a form, that the form implements the IRunnable interface.

You can also refer to here as well for additional help: http://www.slxdeveloper.com/page.aspx?action=viewarticle&articleid=83
