Hi Marc,

I'm not really sure. I'm not familiar with how .NET stuff works, and I've
never seen anything talking about Domino working with native .NET
libraries. Is the uodotnet.dll accessible as a COM object to other
programs? I actually would prefer to use the .NET uniobjects instead of
the original, just to have access to the UniDataSet class, but I haven't
found any instructions for how to access it as a COM object. When I
install the UniData client, it doesn't seem to put the uodotnet.dll file
anywhere in the Windows directory tree; the only place it's put on the
client computer is in the C:\IBM\UDK\uonet\bin directory. Could I just
copy that to C:\windows\system32 and manually register it, then access it
as a COM object? Or is the uodotnet.dll not a COM object?
After some basic wikipedia reading on this topic, it looks like COM
Interop might let me register a .NET component as a COM object, but I'm
not sure what's involved with doing that. I also found some instructions
on a related topic, that led me to try the following:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319>regasm
c:\ibm\unidk\uonet\bin\uodotnet.dll /tlb /c
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Assembly Registration Utility
4.0.30319.1
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1998-2004. All rights reserved.
Types registered successfully
Assembly exported to 'c:\ibm\unidk\uonet\bin\uodotnet.tlb', and the
type library was registered successfully
I don't know what to do from there, however. Uodotnet does not show up as
an object in either the 32 or 64 bit object viewers, for example. So next
I tried copying the .dll and .tlb files to the C:\windows\syswow64
directory, and then ran:
C:\>regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\uodotnet.dll
That gave me an error of "The module c:\windows\syswow64\uodotnet.dll was
loaded but the entry point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure
that uodotnet.dll is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again."
So that's where I'm stuck at the moment. If I could get COM access to
uodotnet.dll, that would be great.
>You have anyone who can write a wrapper for that DLL if not?
I don't think we have anyone in-house who has the .NET skills (or even the
software) to do so, although I'll check on that tomorrow.
Thanks,
Jim
