VB.NET .GetVariableValue("NAME")

Kp61dude!
How do you pull variable values from PCD program using VB.NET?

I know how to do it with VBA and BASIC etc.... but how do you do it with VB.NET, I can get variable name but no values!

Any help, thanks.

***Edit***

My code works I just hadn't ran PcD to 'load' the variables with values....HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome work! I'm just now starting to dabble in VB.NET myself but i have to ask the question...

    why didn't you just use the excel output built into PCD?

    Thanks! VB.NET is cool, most people say to work with C# instead but meh gets the job done. Why not the built in excel? To make life interesting! On a more serious note... RANGES in a report. Mostly everything out there is built around the FAI but I need to be able to populate ranges (high/low) along with FAIs. Plus GUIs, SQL, PLC programming, etc... Output to a CSV isn't the reason for my exploration into witting this more like an excuse.

    AND the reason why most of "us" get into it....cuz it's cool/fun!

    You'd have to play around with the p2x file to get the output in the format shown above, instead of investing the time in that and implementing it to all my programs (a subroutine would probably be best) and maintenance it is just so much easier writing a widget in VB.NET IMHO.

    It definitely does make things interesting. You can make PCD do some really cool things with VB.NET.

    the ranges thing i completely understand. But we also have DataPage+ for that. Slight smile

    again, nice work. I had to write a VBA script for a customer who didn't buy datapage but wanted their data sorted in excel. Had to teach myself how to do that in a couple of days.
