VB.NET for PC DMIS

I am new to using PCDMIS.

above is a portion of code.

Dim app As PCDLRN.Application
Dim cmds As Object
Dim cmd As PCDLRN.Command
Dim part As PCDLRN.PartProgram
Dim data As PCDLRN.ReportData
Dim rWin As PCDLRN.ReportWindow

Dim s As String = ""

app = GetObject("", "PCDLRN.Application.12.1")
app.Visible = True
part = app.ActivePartProgram
cmds = part.Commands

Dim nCommands As String = part.Commands.Count.ToString
Dim val As String = part.GetVariableValue("PLN1").StringValue.ToString

MessageBox.Show("Value is -- " & val & "--" & nCommands)

For Each cmd In cmds
'Dim assignName As Object = cmd.GetText(PCDLRN.ENUM_FIELD_TYPES.DEST_EXPR, 0)
'Console.WriteLine(assignName.ToString)
Console.WriteLine(cmd.TypeDescription.ToString & " " & cmd.Type & " " & cmd.GetFieldValue())
'Console.WriteLine(part.GetVariableValue(assignName).CommandValue.ToString)
Next

'rWin = part.ReportWindow
'data = rWin.Pages

'Dim dat As String = data.GetValue(PCDLRN.ENUM_FIELD_TYPES.AXIS_NOMINAL, 1107)
'MessageBox.Show(dat)

and above is the VB.NET code I am using to access CMM code. I want to get all the values inside ASSIGN/x=y commands eg: ASSIGN/V113=V52+","+V53+","+V54. Can anyone share code to get these values ? I am trying to use Command.GetFieldValue(PCDLRN ENUM FIELD TYPE, TYPE INDEX ) , I do not understand what are these two parameters inside the GetFieldValue method ? Any help will be appreciated.

            End Try
            Return app
        End Function


    I have two cmms with different PCDMIS software version. In my code I used to create app object for PCDLRN.Application.12.1 and it worked fine. The same program run on CMM with PCDMIS 2011 release throws error saying ActiveX object cannot be created.

    How do I write code so that my program can llaunch the software available in the CMM. The code that I have wrote above throws error once the first try fails and in catch when it exectes the second try it throws COM Exception not handled.
