Hello Appeon community,

I have a third party C sharp dll and C++ dll which I need to call from PB2017 to access some functions.
Only Send and Retrieve/ get functions.
We have moved to PB2017 R2 recently, this is a new module I need to add.
This is a client Server environment only.
Dll is not Com Visible.
 
Can anyone please let me know how this can be done and if this is possible to do in PB2017 without Visual Studio?

Need some help please, on time crunch.

Any advice will be much appreciated.Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris

Thanks for quick response, I saw those but those are referring to PB.net/webform etc, can that be done from Appeon PB2017 ?

Thanks

Hi Selvam;

Webform was discontinued by SAP in PB v12.5.2. SAP deprecated PB.net in the v12.6 time frame. PB2017Rx is bult upon the PB12.6 "Classic" version. So the only way to call a .Net Assembly DLL from PB directly is via a COM Callable approach.

Yes, any C or C++ DLL regardless of the development tool can be called by their methods as long as you expose them externally.. (that is the __STDCALL declaration).
