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!

  • Early-binding generally executes [much] faster than late-binding, but you do have the problem with version dependency.

    As for looping through the commands, I notice that a "command" has a "next" and a "prev" member function, which probably can be used to step through the commands instead of using an index (which definitely is quite slow). They are boolean, and I suspect they return False when there isn't any next/prev command. You might try that (I haven't yet, just reading the TLB).
