DLL call

[maxi]

I called a dll function from Autoit.

$xmlPath = "E:\autoit\SIM_Smoke\XYZ.pl.xml"

DllCall("XMLReader.dll","none","GetProductName","str",$xmlPath)

MsgBox(0,"",@error)

Below is the DLL class code:

using System;

using System.IO;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Xml;

namespace XMLReader

{

public class ProductListingReader

{

//default Constructor

public ProductListingReader()

{

}

public void GetProductName(string xmlPath)

{

// List<string> productList = new List<string>();

// create a writer and open the file

TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(@"E:\ProductList.txt");

try

{

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();

xDoc.Load(xmlPath);

XmlElement root = xDoc.DocumentElement;

XmlNodeList lst = root.GetElementsByTagName("product");

foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode n in lst)

{

tw.WriteLine(n.Attributes["definitionName"].Value);

}

}

catch (Exception e)

{

}

// close the stream

tw.Close();

//File.Delete("ProductList.txt");

}

}

}

While running script i am getting @error value 3, which means function not found in the DLL file.

Any help??

XMLReader.dll is probably located in the script directory?

DllCall(@ScriptDir & "\XMLReader.dll","none","GetProductName","str",$xmlPath)

Maybe try to put the full path of your dll when you call it in DllCall.

If Autoit not able to read dll file. It should set @error to 1.

Have you tried with Dll Export Viewer?

Just to be sure the func is visible and with the same name in the compiled dll.

I have tried to access function through c# console application, It is working.

static void Main(string[] args)

{

XMLReader.ProductListingReader p = new XMLReader.ProductListingReader();

p.GetProductName(@"E:\autoit\SIM_Smoke\platform.pl.xml");

//Console.ReadLine();

}

It has to be problem with auto it.

DllCall is function made for advanced users.

You are obviously not the one. Otherwise you wouldn't be asking what you ask.

What do you know of c#? Listing few main characteristics will answer all your questions from here.

Later i found out that, you can't call C# dll directly through Autoit.For more details visits below mention link
