Add Reference to PCDLRN.tlb not working

Apologies for the duplicate post there was a timeout first time around and I didn't think it was posted! (Can't figure out how to delete it either!)

I'm need to do some VB.Net development on a pc that doesn't have PC-DMIS installed. My understanding is that I need to add a reference to PCDLRN.tlb but when I try that I get the following error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop
---------------------------
A reference to 'C:\pcdlrn.tlb' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

I'm running VSE2012 on Windows 7 64bit. Any ideas what is going on here?

I can add reference to the same file in excel VBA on the pc with PC-DMIS installed without any issues.

Also, where can I get the Object Library reference material? I've seen other post refer to this link but it doesn't work anymore... http://www.wilcoxassoc.com/downloads/dl_documentation.php

Thanks!

  • Not a problem! Kind of makes me wonder if you could have your Commands object late-bound and your Command object early-bound. Not that I am advocating this syntax, but it might allow For...Each loops:

    Dim pcdCommands as Object
    
    For Each pcdCommand as PCDLRN.Commands in pcdCommands
    'Do stuff
    Next


    This MIGHT allow collection-based loops on the Commands object while retaining early-binding/Intellisense on each Command object. Or it might error out.
