Hi List,
I'm trying to write an Add-In that will put controls on a Windows Form in a
VB.Net application. Looking at the WinFormsAutomation sample application
that comes with .NET the code for creating a command button is this:
Btn =
host.CreateComponent(host.GetType("System.Windows.Forms.Button,System.Windo
ws.Forms"))
I need to get a pre-compiled UserControl class on the form. The class is
compiled into an assembly, which is is referenced in the Add-in and target
projects. In the target project I have added the control to the toolbox so
I can drag it onto the form from there. This is all working fine, but I
can't work out how to make the add-in create an instance of the control.
The control is SCAT.SCATField, so I tried using a format analogous to the
button, like this:
SF = host.CreateComponent(host.GetType("SCAT.SCATField,SCAT"))
Unfortunately this fails with a Null Reference exception. I can think of
nowhere else to go from here. Any ideas?
Regards,
