Long time, no see. :-) We made many passes through Texas (Brian O’Reilly, and I) showing the wonders of BD.NET back then. It’s still a compelling solution, for any wanting to run CFML on .NET (versus Java, as CF, BD, Lucee, and Railo do it, for those with such a need. Funny how the world has changed, though, with respect to the openness to “other” CFML engines, compared to back in 2003-2006.)
Anyway, as for your continued challenge, did you see those specific pages, where it shows how to access a .net object, whether it’s in the GAC or the bin? If that’s not doing it for you, I don’t think you’ll get more help here on the Houston CFUG. I’d really recommend you ask on the BD/.NET forum I linked to. That’s where folks of that ilk (and New Atlanta folks) do meet to help each other. /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Thomas Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2016 7:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [houcfug] Calling DLL as .NET object in ColdFusion Charlie, Thanks for the reply - I recall meeting you at my Firm back in 2006 when we got BD.NET 😀 The BD docs were the first place I turned to - I guess the issue here is I don't understand classes and methods in .net, so I'm not sure if what I'm doing is correct or not. I can post code examples and links to dtSearch's API, which is impressive if I understood it....

Here’s the doc for BD.NET 7.1: http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/self_help/docs/7_1/BlueDragon_71_Integrating_CFML_with_ASPNET.pdf See pages 26-29, which show both compiling and calling a .net object, or using an existing one, including the steps to making the DLL available via .NET, and thus CFML from within BD.NET. You can put it in the GAC, or in site’s BIN. At least that’s how it worked when I wrote those docs back in about 2005, and I see the doc was updated in 2009 (3 years after I left New Atlanta). The BD 9 doc was updated in 2013, and the steps there appear about the same. Let us know if that gets you going. If not, and we reach the end of the rope (I have not used that capability in about 10 years, myself), there are also the BD.NET forums, with a CFML/.NET specific one at: http://forums.newatlanta.com/threads.cfm?forumid=3CADDAB0-D17F-432B-8E48E633B2557D59 which shows a post as recently as this month. /charlie -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Houston ColdFusion Users' Group" discussion list.
