Sample Code For C# Does Not Work

Legacy Poster

after registering Bartender and trying the samples in Visual Studio 10.
The sample code is valid

Dim btApp As BarTender.Application; (ok)

btApp = new BarTender.ApplicationClass(); (Invalid token =) and (invalid '(' in class or invalid declaration.


This syntax seems to be wrong for C#.

  Hi, jasH:
  
  You can reference our white paper for ActiveX integration http://s3.amazonaws.com/SeagullBarTender/ftp/WhitePapers/WhitePaper_BarTendersActiveXAutomationInterface.pdf
  
  The example is in C#. You can also reference our Bartender Help-> Automating Bartender-> Automation with ActiveX-> Examples using ActiveX Automation section. There are many program examples for C# and VB.net for opening label format, printing label formats, automating database printing....
  
  
  C# does not use Dim declaration(It is used in VB). If you use C#, please use Bartender.ApplicationClass btApp to declare a Bartender application variable.
  
  
  
  Hope it helps.

  Crud I pasted the wrong line from your sample. This is the code which is what is suggested for C#
  All the samples published use this same initialization line.
  
  namespace ClassLibrary4
  {
  public class Class1
  {
  
  
  public void init()
  {
  BarTender.Application btApp;
  BarTender.Format btFormat;
  btApp = new BarTender.ApplicationClass(); / Error here
  btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("c:\\test.btw", false, "");
  btFormat.EnablePrompting(true); /Error here
  1. Interop type 'BarTender.ApplicationClass' cannot be embedded. Use the application interface instead.
  2. Non-invocable member 'BarTender.IBtFormat.EnablePrompting' cannot be used like a method.

  the correct answer:

  
  
  namespace ClassLibrary4
  
  {
  
  public class Class1
  
  {
  
  
  
  
  
  public void init()
  
  {
  
  BarTender.Application btApp;
  
  BarTender.Format btFormat;
  
  btApp = new BarTender.Application(); // Error here 1. Interop type 'BarTender.ApplicationClass' cannot be embedded. Use the application interface instead.
  
  btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("c:\\test.btw", false, "");
  
  btFormat.EnablePrompting = true; //Error here 2. Non-invocable member 'BarTender.IBtFormat.EnablePrompting' cannot be used like a method.
