I have a ClassLibrary Project which is my business layer - Demo.Business
For this class library,
I have folder in the class library as below
TRT
|
TRT.cs
TRTDetails.cs
TRTFiles(Folder)
|
**TRTFile.txt**
In TRT.cs class i have a method
public void UpdateDetails()
{
var typeSeq = from val in TRTDetails.Read**(#"TRTFile.txt")**
}
Now i have added reference of this class library "Demo.Business.dll" to my console application - "DemoProcess.exe".
In the above Console Application I am calling the method "UpdateDetails()" as follows:
public void CallMethod()
{
UpdateDetails();
}
How can I specify the path of the file "TRTFile.txt" in the method "UpdateDetails()" in class library?
I tried using System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName
(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)
Which always gives the path of executing application.
i.e
C:\\Projects\\Demo.Process\\bin\\Debug
How can i get the path as
C:\\Projects\\Demo.Business\\TRT\\TRTFiles............
There are two ways to do this:
I.
This can be done using relative path. If your's dll is also situated in Debug folder, the following path = #"..\..\..\Demo.Business\TRT\TRTFiles\" will do the work.
First ..\ will get us to C:\\Projects\\Demo.Process\\bin\\.
Second ..\ will get us to C:\\Projects\\Demo.Process\\.
Third ..\ will get us to C:\\Projects\\.
II.
Or by using classes used for writing visual studio extensions (Extensibility, EnvDTE namespaces, etc.), they provide functionality to get all information about your project and it's content. But it's complicated.

This is one of the strangest issue I have encountered.
There is a .net assembly, which is exposed to COM.
If you register it with regasm /codebase my.dll - it is sucessfully registered, and can be used.
However, if you register it from code using RegistrationServices.RegisterAssembly() :
[...]
RegistrationServices regSvcs = new RegistrationServices();
Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(path);
// must call this before overriding registry hives to prevent binding failures on exported types during RegisterAssembly
assembly.GetExportedTypes();
using (RegistryHarvester registryHarvester = new RegistryHarvester(true))
{
// ******** this throws *********
regSvcs.RegisterAssembly(assembly, AssemblyRegistrationFlags.SetCodeBase);
}
Then it throws exception:
Could not load file or assembly 'Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinTree.v9.2, Version=9.2.20092.2083,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb' or one of its dependencies.
Provider type not defined. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090017)
This error has very little resource on the net, and looks like related to some security(?) cryptography(?) feature.
After long-long hours, I figured out what causes this (but don't know why):
If there is a public class with a public constructor in the assembly with a parameter UltraTree (from the referenced assembly 'Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinTree.v9.2'), then you cannot register from code, but with regasm only.
When I changed the have a public function Init(UltraTree tree), then it works, I can register from code. So:
// regasm: OK / RegistrationServices.RegisterAssembly(): exception
public class Foo
{
public Foo(UltraWinTree tree) { .. }
}
Foo foo = new Foo(_tree);
-------------- vs --------------
// regasm: OK / RegistrationServices.RegisterAssembly(): OK
public class Foo
{
public Foo() {}
public void Init(UltraWinTree tree) { .. }
}
Foo foo = new Foo();
foo.Init(_tree);
So I could workaround by passing UltraWinTree in a new Init() function instead of constructor, but this is not nice, and I want to know the reason, what the heck is going on?
Anyone has any idea? Thanks.
PS:
Okay, but why we want to register from code? As we use Wix to create installer, which uses heat.exe to harvest registry entries (which are added during asm registration), so heat.exe does assembly registration from code.
I've been dealing with this for years so this is the only answer you need to read:
Heat calls regasm /regfile. So does InstallShield when you tell it to. If you read this page:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/regasm-exe-assembly-registration-tool
There's a very important caveat in the remarks section.
You can use the /regfile option to generate a .reg file that contains
the registry entries instead of making the changes directly to the
registry. You can update the registry on a computer by importing the
.reg file with the Registry Editor tool (Regedit.exe). The .reg file
does not contain any registry updates that can be made by user-defined
register functions. The /regfile option only emits registry entries
for managed classes. This option does not emit entries for TypeLibIDs
or InterfaceIDs.
So what to do? Use Heat to generate most of the metadata. Then on a clean machine, (snapshot VM best) us a registry snapshot and compare tool such as InCntrl3 or InstallWatch Pro and sniff out what additional meta regasm writes to the registry. Finally massage that into your Wxs code.
Then on a cleam machine test the install. The result should work and not require any custom actions in the install.
I am using a pre-built C++ library in my Unreal project using a dynamic library file (let's say it's called MyPluginLib.dll). The library is contained in a plugin, let’s call it MyPlugin.
Building, packaging, playing in editor works fine. However, a packaged build doesn’t start, giving the following error: Code execution cannot proceed, MyPluginLib.dll was not found.
The packaging process places MyPluginLib.dll file in MyGame\Plugins\MyPlugin\Binaries. However, the execution process is seemingly looking for it in MyGame\Binaries – moving the library there manually solves this issue.
Why is the OS unable to find the dll in the first folder? Is there something wrong in the build.cs, or my folder structure?
The folder structure of the plugin folder is as follows:
Includes in Plugins\MyPlugin\Source\ThirdParty\MyPluginLib\
Binaries in Plugins\MyPlugin\Binaries\(PLATFORM)\
The plugin’s Build.cs looks like this:
public class MyPlugin : ModuleRules
{
public MyPlugin(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
{
PCHUsage = ModuleRules.PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;
string PluginRoot = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, "..", ".."));
string PlatformString = Target.Platform.ToString();
string LibraryDirectory = Path.Combine(PluginRoot, "Binaries", PlatformString);
PublicIncludePaths.Add(Path.Combine(PluginRoot, "Source", "ThirdParty", "MyPluginLib"));
if ((Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Win64))
{
PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add(Path.Combine(LibraryDirectory, "MyPluginLib.lib"));
RuntimeDependencies.Add(Path.Combine(LibraryDirectory, "MyPluginLib.dll"), StagedFileType.NonUFS);
}
else if (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Linux)
{
// linux binaries...
}
}
Would appreciate any help.
Check your packaged games files, unreal loves to not include certain thing in packaged builds regarding plugins.
What I want to do?
I want to create and consume java objects in PowerBuilder and call methods on it. This should happen with less overhead possible.
I do not want to consume java webservices!
So I've a working sample in which I can create a java object, call a method on this object and output the result from the called method.
Everything is working as expected. I'm using Java 1.8.0_31.
But now I want to attach my java IDE (IntelliJ) to the running JVM (started by PowerBuilder) to debug the java code which gets called by PowerBuilder.
And now my question.
How do I tell PowerBuilder to add special options when starting the JVM?
In special I want to add the following option(s) in some way:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005
The JVM is created like following:
LONG ll_result
inv_java = CREATE JavaVM
ll_result = inv_java.CreateJavaVM("C:\Development\tms java\pbJavaTest", FALSE)
CHOOSE CASE ll_result
CASE 1
CASE 0
CASE -1
MessageBox ( "", "jvm.dll was not found in the classpath.")
CASE -2
MessageBox ( "", "pbejbclient90.jar file was not found." )
CASE ELSE
MessageBox ( "", "Unknown result (" + String (ll_result ) +")" )
END CHOOSE
In the PowerBuilder help I found something about overriding the static registry classpath. There is something written about custom properties which sounds like what I'm looking for.
But there's no example on how to add JVM options to override default behavior.
Does anyone have a clue on how to tell PowerBuilder to use my options?
Or does anyone have any advice which could guide me in the right direction?
Update 1
I found an old post which solved my initial issue.
If someone else want to know how it works take a look at this post:

Hi, you need to set some windows registry entries.
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\Powerbuilder\9.0\Java, there
are two folders: PBIDEConfig and PBRTConfig. The first one is used when
you run your application from within the IDE, and the latter is used
when you run your compiled application. Those two folders can have
PBJVMconfig and PBJVMprops folders within them.
PBJVMconfig is for JVM configuration options such as -Xms. You have to
specify incremental key values starting from "0" by one, and one special
key "Count" to tell Powerbuilder how many options exists to enumerate.
PBJVMprops is for all -D options. You do not need to specify -D for
PBJVMProps, just the name of the property and its value, and as many
properties as you wish.
Let me give some examples:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\PowerBuilder\9.0\Java\PBIDEConfig\PBJVMprops]
"java.security.auth.login.config"="auth.conf"
"user.language"="en"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\PowerBuilder\9.0\Java\PBRTConfig\PBJVMconfig]
"0"="-client"
"1"="-Xms128m"
"2"="-Xmx512m"
"Count"="3"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sybase\PowerBuilder\9.0\Java\PBRTConfig\PBJVMprops]
"java.security.auth.login.config"="auth.conf"
"user.language"="en"

But now there's another issue...
PB isn't able to create EJB Proxies for my sample class which is really simple with java 1.8.0_31. They were created with the default version, which is 1.6.0_24.
public class Simple
{
public Simple()
{
}
public static String getValue()
{
return "blubber";
}
public int getInt32Value()
{
return 123456;
}
public double getDoubleVaue()
{
return 123.123;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(Simple.getValue());
}
}
The error is the following. :D
---------- Deploy: Deploy of project p_genapp_ejbclientproxy (15:35:18)
Retrieving PowerBuilder Proxies from EJB...
Generation Errors: Error: class not found: (
Deployment Error: No files returned for package/component 'Simple'. Error code: Unknown. Proxy was not created.
Done.
---------- Finished Deploy of project p_genapp_ejbclientproxy (15:35:19)
So the whole way isn't a option because we do not want to change the JAVA settings in PB back and forth just to generate new EJB Proxies for changed JAVA objects in the future...
So one option to test will be creating COM wrappers for JAVA classes to use them in PB...
One of our clients have an existing access db which connects to our wsoap web service. MS has deprecated the library we once used to access the web service from VBA.
This custom DLL is my only choice other than writing a new app for them which am not authorized to do because of cost.
I've written the following class
namespace MAServicesComClient
{
public class TiRequestComClient
{
public Task<ServiceReference1.SubmitAsXmlResponse> SubmitAsXmlRequest(string username, string password,string xml)
{
ServiceReference1.ServiceSoapClient srv = new ServiceReference1.ServiceSoapClient();
return srv.SubmitAsXmlAsync(username, password, xml);
}
}
}
When I execute that method in VBA it says it can't find a reference to the end point.
I have implemented this class within a console app and it works.
How do I get it to use the configuration file in the same directory as the access db file?
Edit:
It seems to work if I copy the dll file to where the database file is then register it using regasm.exe. Then drop the .dll.config where msaccess.exe is then rename to msaccess.exe.config.
But is there no way I can get to use the config within the same directory as the dll
Quite sure you can FORCE load the config file with this:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData ("APP_CONFIG_FILE",ConfigFile);
The configfile in above has to be a full path name. And if you place the .dll in the current folder. So something like this should work:
' intilize event:
Dim strP As String
strP = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location
strP = strP & ".config"
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("APP_CONFIG_FILE", strP)
I've used package manager to install Squishit.Less 0.9.3, and I have two files
style.less - #import "test.less";
test.less - body{background-color: pink;}.
In my page I have:
<%= Bundle.Css().Add("~/less/style.less").ForceRelease().Render("~/less/combined.css") %>
But the output I get is: #import"test.less"; - the less processor hasn't tried to get the import for some reason?
I've tried ProcessImports but that made no difference.
I just verified in a sample project that it works correctly.
You should NOT need to call ProcessImports - the less preprocessor should do this automatically. ProcessImports is for #imports in standard CSS, which aren't processed by default.
I suspect what happened is that NuGet didn't add the file that registers the preprocessor. As a result the less preprocessor is never called. If you look under App_Start you should see a file called SquishItLess.cs with the following contents:
[assembly: WebActivator.PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(MyProject.App_Start.SquishItLess), "Start")]
namespace MyProject.App_Start
{
using SquishIt.Framework;
using SquishIt.Less;
public class SquishItLess
{
public static void Start()
{
Bundle.RegisterStylePreprocessor(new LessPreprocessor());
}
}
}
If this file is missing, you can either add it or add the Bundle.RegisterStylePreprocessor line in your Global.asax.cs' Application_Start method.
If you're installing to a VB project this is a known issue (https://github.com/jetheredge/SquishIt/issues/232) and will be addressed when the plug is pulled on .net 3.5 support.
