I expect big things from that department now. I hope SL continues after the changes and doesn't disolve into the HTML5+JS story.

The multiple ways is a bit cloudy/confusing.

Unfornately the legacy app using the dll sits on a network share(file-server app) but the new C# dll will sit on each users WinDisk\Docs and Setting\All Users\App Data\App Folder\

regasm "my full path to my dll\my.dll" /codebase

 

Is there a downside to this? There seems to be conflicting notation/articles out there on both of these methods.

I have a sample vm setup running just XP, .net 1.1 and 2.0 to serve as a test target machine.

My legacy application is file-server(exe sits on network) and this cannot change. Doing things the right way I install my dll(and interop.xxx files) to C:\Docs and Settings\whatever\App Data\CompanyName\

Now I know I need to get the class into the GAC so that my legacy app can see it over COM. I couldn't do this straight up as the gacutil isnt part of the .net runtime(so the target machine doesnt have it). I wrote a little installer/uninstaller exe which does this using System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish.gacInstall().

I made sure my dll was strongly typed via the .net command prompt doing sn -k whatever.snk and adding that to the project as the key file.

Ok, I can browse to C:\Windows\Assembly and see my class there but my legacy app still fails when creating the object on the target machine...

What gives? Sad

Of course, I was referring to this. Don't worry I wrote it myself last night.

Just fyi, the only thing I could get to work in my situation (auto-install .NET 2.0 assemblies via an ActiveX control on a web page) was to write a little exe myself that calls into the System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish object methods to install into the GAC and register it for interop.  I could have used regasm to do the COM portion, but since some people do not have the 2.0 runtime in their path (and I didn't want to hard code it in the .inf file), I just did it through the exe.


If anybody wants details, I'd be happy to post them.  It took me a good 3 hours to get everything working as it should, and I see no reason for anyone to go through the same pains I did!

As a foxpro developer I already have native SQL-like code and iterate over the selection(cursors) with scan statements. Just an observation, it seems with .net 3.0 a lot of the advantages of foxpro are being brought into the clr as foxpro sunsets.

Mariokart DS is epic. Fully 3d, all the items and more, full fledged 4 cups with 4 or 5 races a piece, then 4 full cups from the previous Mariokarts (snes, gba, n64m gamecube). Online mode, DSvsDS, bots, battle modes. This game really blew me away. Perplexed

New MarioBros game is really well done too. Tetris has a ton of modes. Rocketslime is another really done game.
