IManOXP.dll as C#.NET reference?

BjoernWeber

Hi!

Is there any way to add the IManOXP.dll (the "Worksite Office2000 integration") to a C#-Project in MS Visual-Studio.NET 2005?

If I try to do this, the reference gets a yellow exclamation mark, the path-and name-property of the reference is empty and if I try to build the project I get the following error:

"The referenced component 'iManO2K' could not be found."

Best regards,
Björn

Yes, this is actually an issue with interop assembly conversion. Try this work-around:

Instead of relying on .NET framework to determine this for the COM DLL, use the tlbimp.exe to explicitly specify the assembly reference

For example, create an assembly for the IManage and IManExt type libraries from a VS.NET command prompt, like so:
tlbimp "%ProgramFiles%\Interwoven\WorkSite\IManage.dll" /out:MyApp.Interop.IManage.dll /namespace:IManage /sysarray
tlbimp "%ProgramFiles%\Interwoven\WorkSite\IManExt.dll" /out:MyApp.Interop.IManExt.dll /namespace:IMANEXTLib /sysarray /reference:MyApp.Interop.IManage.dll

Then, create the interop for the MS Add-In Designer type library as follows:
tlbimp "%CommonProgramFiles%\Designer\MSADDNDR.TLB" /out:MyApp.Interop.AddInDesignerObjects.dll /namespace:AddinDesignerObjects /sysarray

Lastly, create the interop for the iManO2k type library (in this example, iManOXP.DLL):
tlbimp "%ProgramFiles%\Interwoven\WorkSite\iManOXP.dll" /out:MyApp.Interop.IManOXP.dll /namespace:iManO2k /sysarray /reference:MyApp.Interop.IManage.dll /reference:MyApp.Interop.IManExt.dll /reference:MyApp.Interop.AddinDesignerObjects.dll
