Using C# (and .NET) from FWH

[Antonio Linares]

We have done a major advance on using C# (or any other .NET based language) from FWH

This is going to be part of FWH 18.05

For now, please start testing this:

1. How to build a C# DLL:

test.cs

Code: Select all

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace dllNamespace
{
    public class dllClass
    {
        public static int ShowMsg( string msg )
        {
            MessageBox.Show( msg );
            return 0;
        }
   }
}

To build it as a DLL do this:
call "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x86
csc /out:test.dll /target:library test.cs

Next: I will explain you how to run it from FWH 18.05

Antonio,

As you advance with this, perhaps you can keep in mind how we might turn a FWH program into a service. We've discussed this before, but never came to the point of an actual working service that can run in the background. We got builds, but it would not actually run. Maybe with this new technology we can actually accomplish that goal.

This is already working

dotnet.prg

Code: Select all

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   FW_DotNet( "test.dll", "dllNamespace.dllClass", "ShowMsg", "C# from FWH" )

   FW_DotNet( "test.dll", "dllNamespace.dllClass", "ShowMsg", "yes!!!" )

return nil

Nice...
I will follow this topic, since I drop some developments because I couldn't access some .NET dll's and Libs

thank you.

[vilian]

It's really great!

[Antonio Linares]

We are building a CLASS TDotNet

To be included in FWH 18.05

[Marc Venken]

Aha, Closer to my arduino then

[vilian]

Antônio,
Is it not ready yet ?
I thought would be included in FWH 18.05

[Antonio Linares]

Vilian,

Class TDotNet is already included in FWH 18.05

Please go to FWH\samples and do:

buildh.bat dotnet

Hello, friends

is it possible to use the FAST-REPORT.NET in this case?

I'm hanging on

Hello, friends

is it possible to use the FAST-REPORT.NET in this case?

I'm hanging on

Please
Send me or put a sample of how you are using the DLL now
