Hello Everyone,

 

I have .net5 dlls are registered into assembly using regsvr32 and trying to consume these registred dlls in powerbuilder. I came across the below link to consume .net5 assemblies. I am using Powerbuilder 2017 R3 and trying to consume dll using .Net DLL Importer.  

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r2/application_techniques/ch20s02.html

 

Unfortunatly I dont see .Net Dll Importer under Tools or File -> New -> Tool. Can someone assist me on this to get .Net Dll importer so that I will be able to create proxy class for assembly in Powerbuilder?

Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Raghu

If your assembly is registered using regsvr32, are you sure itsn't COM visible? If it is COM visible you may be able to use it via COM...

(By the way, assemblies should be registerer with regasm...)

Your version is too old.  Why do you refer to 2019 R2 documentation when you are using 2017 R3?  I suggest you upgrade to 2019 R3.

Also, .NET 5 not supported yet.  The DLL needs to be recompiled with .NET 4.x or .NET Core 3.x.  The table on this page explains what version of .NET DLLs 2019 R3 supports: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/application_techniques/ch05s01.html

Hi Rahul;

   FYI: Select Tools | .NET DLL Importer menu in the PowerBuilder IDE.

Regards ... Chris
