Problem with C# example

[ashleypursglove 0]

I am running Jet 6.4 professional edition and was looking for an example of how to call a java dll compiled using jet from C#.

I found out that there is an example of how to do this in later versions of the compiler.

Someone kindly uploaded a copy of this example so I was able to run through it.

I have followed the steps in the example and upon running the final .exe file I get a badimageformat exception.

Is it likely that this is being caused by an error in the example, an error I've made or does jet 6.4 not support C# interop?

** I have since then downloaded a trial of version 7.2 and am getting teh same error after following the instructions. **

Kind Regards

Ash

Hi Ash,

It seems that you are trying to run this sample on x64 system.

By default, C# compiler targets "anycpu" platform, which turns into x64 on 64-bit system and x86 on 32-bit system.

But DLLs generated in the sample (both C DLL and Java DLL) are 32-bit. 32-bit DLLs cannot be used in x64 process.

To solve this problem, force C# compiler to target x86 platform.

Edit build.bat and change the line

csc Test.cs

to

csc /platform:x86 Test.cs

Then rebuild a sample.

Best regards

Hi Alex,

Thanks very much for the response. I will try this now.

It sounds like this may be quite a common issue that people face. May I suggest that you include this information in the readme of the example?

Thanks again,

Kind Regards

Ash

Hi Ash,

Thank you for the suggestion.

I have corrected build.bat and included this information into readme.txt of this sample (in the future versions of Excelsior JET).
