Importing FSUIPC into VB.Net in Visual Studio

[n_codrington]

Hello,

What do I have to do to import FSUIPC into my VB.Net projects? I have the following code:

Imports FSUIPC

Public Class Form1
[/CODE]

and I always get a squiggly line underneath "FSUIPC" denoting a problem with my code.

I know I'm missing something, but what?

Sorry, I don't know what that means. FSUIPC's DLL is an FS module, it isn't a DLL which is directly accessible externally. You have to program to the interface it supports.

Have you looked at the VB example in the FSUIPC SDK? Also check out the FSUIPC Client DLL for .NET - Version 2.0 thread in the Download Links subforum. Most folks using .Net languages other than C or ASM find using Paul Henty's interface a lot easier.

Hi Pete. Thanks for the speedy response.

By "import" I mean the way I reference it in Visual Basic. I've looked at the samples in the SDK, and that doesn't even use the "imports" statement in the VB.Net example so I'm confused. I read this post: http://forum.simflight.com/topic/69100-fsuipcdll-in-vb-2010-express-net-calculating-touchdown-rate/page__view__findpost__p__430207, in whichDaan van der Spek used the Import statement, and apparently that works for him as far as connecting to FS goes.

That thread was definitely about Paul Henty's DLL, to which I provided a reference in my previous reply. I suggest you start there!
