  1. Ever wondered how to interact with your compiled .NET assembly and AutoIt script using COM? Then look no further, as I try to explain in simple terms the approach at which to achieve this. The code (AutoIt): As quite a few of you know, I am against the use of Global variables, as more often than not a simple approach such as encapsulating a Local Static variable in a wrapper function is just as good. Some may point out the use of the enumeration, but this is only for the purposes of doing away with "magic numbers", with the chances to expand in the future and not having to remember which number represents what etc... To create the .NET dll: In Visual Studio select a new project and class library. From there, go ahead and rename the namespace and class to something meaningful as you will need it later on when you connect to the COM interface of your .NET assembly. Add [ComVisible(true)] above the class declaration line << IMPORTANT. Once you've added all your wonderful C# related code, build the assembly and copy the .dll file to the location of your AutoIt script. Then it's just as simple as calling the _DotNet_Load() function with the filename of the .dll and voila, you have the power of AutoIt and .NET in one script. Example use of Functions: #include <File.au3> Global Const $DOTNET_PATHS_INDEX = 0, $DOTNET_REGASM_OK = 0 Global Enum $DOTNET_LOADDLL, $DOTNET_UNLOADDLL, $DOTNET_UNLOADDLLALL ; Enumeration used for the _DotNet_* functions. Global Enum $DOTNET_PATHS_FILEPATH, $DOTNET_PATHS_GUID, $DOTNET_PATHS_MAX ; Enumeration used for the internal filepath array. #cs NOTE: Don't forget to add [ComVisible(true)] to the top of the class in the class library. Otherwise it won't work. #ce Example() ; A simple example of registering and unregistering the AutoIt.dll Func Example() If _DotNet_Load('AutoIt.dll') Then ; Load the .NET compiled dll. Local $oPerson = ObjCreate('AutoIt.Person') ; Namespace.Class. If IsObj($oPerson) Then $oPerson.Name = "guinness" $oPerson.Age = Random(18, 99, 1) ConsoleWrite('Person''s age => ' & $oPerson.Age & @CRLF) $oPerson.IncreaseAge() ; A silly method to show the encapsulation of the object around the Age property. ConsoleWrite('Person''s new age => ' & $oPerson.Age & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite($oPerson.ToString() & @CRLF) ; Call the ToString() method which was overriden. Else ConsoleWrite('An error occurred when registering the Dll.' & @CRLF) EndIf Else ConsoleWrite('An error occurred when registering the Dll.' & @CRLF) EndIf ; The dll is automatically unloaded when the application closes.
