Cannot run .NET ExtensionYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

hi,

I tried replicating the extension in the article "Introduction to .NET in SalesLogix Version 7" word to word, but it did not execute.

Then I tried a couple of another things to troubleshoot.

1. This is the code on the Account Form:

Sub Button1Click(Sender)
msgbox "Loading .NET extension"

dim ext
ext = Application.Managed.Create("SLX NET Extensions Test", "ClassLibrary1.Class1")
Application.Managed.Run ext, "Hello from Archtect"
Application.Managed.Destroy ext

msgbox "Finished successfully..."
End Sub


The 2 messageboxes showed one after the other but with no response from the middle 4 lines.

2. Removed the plugin from .NET Extensions Manager. This time there were no errors also about not finding the plugin.

Was wondering whether there was something else I should be doing in SLX7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Ashish.

I had alot of issues in running this the first time also. Recommend you use a msgbox to see if a GUID (ext) is returned by the Mananged.Create command. My guess it is comming back empty. I have found that the entries in the Create command must be exactly like your .Net Manager and it is case sensitive. Try cutting and pasting the entries from your Visual Studio App into your SLX app. Not sure if this is your issue but it was what was driving me crazy.

The first thing to check is to make sure your namespace.classname is correct, and that you're using the correct "title" for the extension.

Also, I've had an issue where the extension wouldn't load until after I shut down the client (after loading the .NET assembly into the extensions manager).

I got this to work by changing

' instanciate the .NET Extension
ext = Application.Managed.Create("SLX NET Extensions Test", "ClassLibrary1.Class1")

to

' instanciate the .NET Extension
ext = Application.Managed.Create("ClassLibrary1", "ClassLibrary1.Class1")

for c#

Thanks again Ryan!

I am still having problems getting this to work even after I confirmed that my namespace.classname is correct and changing the title to match the namespace.

What other methods can you use to confirm that everything is registered and released properly to make it work?

Also is this like other plugins and you can test as the admin, I released it to everyone and cannot get this to work even as another user.

Thanks

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

What exactly is going wrong? What does your SLX script look like? What does your .NET code look like?

I am getting nothing from SalesLogix, and I am also not getting a guid from the .net extension when I create it.

Here is my .NET code

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions;

namespace ClassLibrary1
{
public class Class1 : Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.BaseRunnable
{
public override object Run(object[] Args)
{
MessageBox.Show("Test" + SlxApplication.ConnectionString);
return null;
}
}
}

And here is my SalesLogix code:

option explicit

Sub Button1Click(Sender)

msgbox "Loading .NET extension"

dim ext

ext = application.Managed.Create("ClassLibrary1","ClassLibrary1.Class1")

msgbox ext

application.Managed.Run ext, "Hello


msgbox "Finished successfully..."

End Sub

I added it through the .net manager and released it to everyone.

Thank You,

Nathan

Can you confirm that "ClassLibrary1" is the title of the extension when added to the extensions manager?

What happens when the script runs? Anything? Does it produce any errors or just nothing happens?

You mention that you are not getting a guid after the call to create. This would indicate that the title and/or namespace.classname is not correct in your VBScript code. The namespace.classname look correct from your code, are you sure the title is correct?

One last thing to try. I have seen in some cases where the .NET extension libraries do not get properly registered from the install. If this is your case then you can register them manually by running the batch file named "RegisterSLXNetExtentions.bat" that can be found in the SLX directory.

Hi Ryan,

I'm having a similar issue where i cannot view info from my .dll

This is my .net Code

Imports AMLInterface.AMLInterface
Imports System.Collections
Imports System.Data
Imports Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Namespace slxWebservice
Public Class Class1
Inherits Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.BaseRunnable

Public Overrides Function Run(ByVal Args() As Object) As Object
Dim x As Integer
x = 10
Return x
End Function
End Class
End Namespace


My SLx Code:


Sub Button1Click(Sender)
dim loader
dim i
stop
loader = Application.Managed.Create("ClassLibrary1","slxWebservice.Class1")
i = Application.Managed.Run(loader, "")
msgbox i

End Sub

my Loader value is blank. I've made sure the Sage.NetExtensions are registered, my namespace and classname is correct, but i get nothing back. i even went as far as hardcoding a return value in .net.

Hope you could point me in the right direction.

Rgds,
Daryn

Hi Daryn,

Is the "Title" value for your extension (in the .NET Extensions Manager) "ClassLibrary1"? If your loader var is blank then it's obiously not loading/finding your extension. I'd start there. Also, maybe try exiting SLX and restarting to see if it has any better luck loading it?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your response, much appreciated.
I am just a little confused, In VS'05, i have an assembly name for my project called ABC123, and within that, there is a class called ClassLibrary1.

You refer to Title (.net Extensions Manager), which, when i load the dll into it, takes the Assembly name of my .dll.

If i create the object using the Title which is in the manager it gives me some error saying it cannot find the Class.

If i use the name of the class within the Assembly, which in this case is classLibrary1, then no error, but at the object stays blank.

This is really confusing for me at this stage.

Thanks Daryn

Hi Ryan,

I got it eventually thanks.
Used the following: Create(Title,ClassName.Namespace.Class)

Thanks

Hi,
Sorry, my previous post was slightly incorrect.

loader = Application.Managed.Create(Title,Rootnamespace,ClassNamespace.Class)

Works like a charm

Hi Daryn,
i tried to implement the solution that you suggested above , ie,

loader = Application.Managed.Create(Title,Rootnamespace,ClassNamespace.Class)

but, it is giving the error that Create method is passed with invalid number of arguments, since it accepts only 2 arguments.
But one interesting thing is, i am able to get the GUIDI(ext), its not empty, ie,
ext = Application.Managed.Create("WindowsApplication1","WindowsApplication1.Form1")
msgbox ext
here, the value of ext is not empy, it has some GUID value.
Any other solutions to get it worked??

Thanks in advance

the Create method in Application.Managed does take only two parameters. The correct syntax to use is "Title" for param 1 (which is what displays in the Title column in the .NET Extensions Manager) and the Namespace.Classname for the second param.

What does your complete code look like?

Ryan,
My complete code looks like as below,
in the .Net form,

Imports System
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions
Public Class Form1
Implements Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.IRunnable

Private SlxApplication As SalesLogix.ISlxApplication

Public Sub Initialize(ByVal SlxApplication As Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.SalesLogix.ISlxApplication, ByVal LicenseKeyManager As Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.Licensing.ILicenseKeyManager) Implements Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.IRunnable.Initialize

End Sub

Public Function Run(ByVal Args() As Object) As Object Implements Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.IRunnable.Run
Dim msg As String = "Hello .NET-SalesLogix World!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Argument passed: " & IIf(Args.Length = 0, "None", Args(0)) & vbCrLf & _
"Current userid: " & SlxApplication.BasicFunctions.CurrentUserID() & vbCrLf & _
"Connection String: " & SlxApplication.ConnectionString

MessageBox.Show(msg, ".NET MessageBox")
Return Nothing
End Function
End Class

********************************And in Sales Lgoix Architect,

Sub Button1Click(Sender)

Dim Ext


Ext = Application.Managed.Create ("WindowsApplication1","WindowsApplication1.Form1")

Application.Managed.Run Ext,"Hi"

Application.Managed.Destroy Ext

End Sub


Here, when open Sales Logix Client and click on button1, i am not able to get the messagebox displaying the userid, connectionstring and also not able to show the Form1.

My actual requirment is,
I want to design a windows form in .Net and show that form in the Sales Logix on a button click so that i can perform some business functionality in .Net form from Sales Logix.
For that, i have written above code, but it didn't display anything, and also no error message. For your informaion, the Ext value is NOT blank, it displays some GUID value, means Application.Managed.Create method works fine, may problem with Application.Managed.Run method, not sure.

Any ideas to acheive this?

Thanks,
