I Think it's not working yet.

[cnavarro]

But, Is it really working with harbour ?
The test of Ricardo didn't work until now "

I used Borland 7 Compiler
Antonino, with VS you are right, not run now. I'm investigating why.
DotNet run OK for Harbour? YES
Can any function or method defined in a C # DLL be used? Yes, if all the requirements are met
What limitations do you currently have? It does not yet allow you to return values to Fivewin. He needs a little more work and I haven't had time to devote.
So how can I return a value? You can create a txt file with the value to return from C # and read it later from Fivewin. It is not the best but it is a possibility.

Let's see an example of usability
We create a .CS file that we will call for example datagrid0.cs

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

using System.Windows.Forms;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;

namespace conexion
{
    public class myGrid
    {
        public static int connectar( string a )
        {
             MessageBox.Show( a );
            string connetionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\\fwh\\fwhteam\\samples\\xbrtest.mdb;";
            string sql = "SELECT * FROM Customer";
             MessageBox.Show( "String of connection and command sql" );

            OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connetionString);
             MessageBox.Show( "Connection OK" );

            OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(sql, connection);
            connection.Open();
             MessageBox.Show( "Open connection" );

            OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(command);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            da.Fill( ds, "Customers_table");
            MessageBox.Show( "Customer" );

            MessageBox.Show( ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["First"].ToString() );
            connection.Close();
            return 0;

        }
    }
}
 

Now we execute the following command en un fichero .bat ( buildcs0.bat ).
I have commented on the first line because I use the link to the compiler console that you install when you install any version of Visual Studio
This way we don't depend on the compiler version of Visual Studio

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

rem call "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x86
csc /out:datagrid.dll /target:library datagrid0.cs
 

It's time to create our prg

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "FiveWin.ch"

Static cDll       := "datagrid.dll"
Static cWorkSpace := "conexion.myGrid"
Static cMethod    := "connectar"

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

function Main()

   local oNet

   oNet   := TDotNet():New()
   oNet:Execute( cDll, cWorkSpace, cMethod, "Conectar" )
   //? oNet:GetResult(), oNet:GetReturnValue(), oNet:GetValueReturn()

   ? oNet:GetNetError()
   oNet:End()

return nil

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
 

If everything went well, you should not return any errors.

I am doing it me own, I think on MSVC it is not possible include the support on the onnicomprensive FiveWin library, because the library needs to be linked with CLR support.
So I am creating a DLL that exposes the .NET interface, in a similar way to OLE support.
I still have some issue with pcode support, but current result are cheering

Hi Mr. Navarro,
Can you help me to compile with msvc?

[cnavarro]

What do you need?

I was able to call .net code from harbour using Visual studio compiler, creating a C++ CLR project with managed code using HB_FUNC

this code calls a dll I made with a class and a method "ShowDialog"

Antonino,

thats great!

Are you able to build it using hbmk2 ?

[AntoninoP]

I did not try, I used Visual studio. Maybe it is enough add /clr and some include... on property I see these options:
