.NET compiled dll assembly in AutoIt, the simple approach!

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.

Not a massive problem as the dlls are unregister on application exit, but the Unload() method wasn't unregistering a single dll passed. I have updated the code accordingly. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The ZIP file contains all related source code for both AutoIt and .NET.

Thanks for sharing.

It reminded me of this: WinSCP - UDF

I remembered this after posting, as I checked the WinSCP code to see if they use more than just an empty constructor. Though our examples are slightly different, as yours assumes the assembly is registered and is a precompiled assembly.

I do not see any zip file in your post.

I see the ZIP file.

This is very good example how to Develop my own .NET  dll, and use them in AutoIt.
Over this once a long time ago I was wondering, it is possible that I will return to this in my work.

Over this once a long time ago I was wondering, it is possible that I will return to this in my work.

You're very welcome. The functions are super simple, it was just a case of merging this information into a single post, as what I have seen on the AutoIt Forum wasn't clear nor did it include the means of how to create a class library.

I just updated with a huge bug fix. The unloading was poorly written, which unfortunately I don't have any excuse for. Does tiredness count? See the first post with code that has been statically tested.

Works as well without the COM visible line :)

There is also a possibility to run Assemblies in .Net without registering them in the GAC ! But this takes us too far down the .NET road, and after all this is still a AU3 forum ;)

Maybe this can help as well  ;)

Totally missed this.

As for your code, thanks. Though maybe it's different in .NET v2.0, as I had to put the ComVisible for it to work.

Code works as well in .Net 4.0 just tested it.

Anyhow bottom line is that .Net code can enrich AU3 using COM, that is for sure !

Thanks guinness for this functions. I found an issue regarding the error values of the wrapper functions. You have to wrap the main function like this to get error values other than zero in case of an error:

Func _DotNet_Load($sDllPath)
    Local $Result = __DotNet_Wrapper($sDllPath, $DOTNET_LOADDLL)
    Return SetError(@error, @extended, $Result)
EndFunc   ;==>_DotNet_Load

Tested on V3.3.8.1 but behaviour should be the same on newer AutoIt versions.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to
build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe
trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
So far, the Universe is winning.

Oh yeah, we had a debate about this in the MVP section on why my approach doesn't work (but I think it should), I will fix the code. Thanks.

      .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) Framework
      By ptrex
      WHAT : is .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) Framework
      The Common Language Runtime (CLR) is a an Execution Environment . Common Language Runtime (CLR)'s main tasks are to convert the .NET Managed Code to native code, manage running code like a Virtual Machine, and also controls the interaction with the Operating System.
      As part of Microsoft's .NET Framework, the Common Language Runtime (CLR) is managing the execution of programs written in any of several supported languages. Allowing them to share common object-oriented classes written in any of the languages.
      HOW : To access the CLR environment you need to create an Appdomain Object - _CLR_GetDefaultDomain()
      An AppDomain provides an isolated region in which code runs inside of an existing process.
      Application domains provide an isolation boundary for security, reliability, and versioning, and for unloading assemblies. Application domains are typically created by runtime hosts, which are responsible for bootstrapping the common language runtime before an application is run.
      WHEN : Would you use CLR Runtime Hosts
        1. To access  .NET Class Libraries :
      System System.Collections System.Data System.Drawing System.IO System.Text System.Threading System.Timers System.Web System.Web.Services System.Windows.Forms System.Xml   2. Accessing custom build .Net Assemblies :
        Some Examples (but there are a ton out there)
      AutoItX3 - The .NET Assembly for using AutoItX JSonToXML libr. XMLRPC Libr. .NETPDF libr. .NETOCR Libr WInSCP Libr.  ...   3. To Compile .Net Code into an Assembly
        4. To Run C# or VB.net Code
        5. To Mix AU3 and .Net functionality in your Application
       
      WHERE :  To find documentation about CLR
      First of all you can find a lot on MSDN and here  : Post 4 & Post 6
       
      EXAMPLES : Multiple examples included in Zip !!
      Example : “System.Text.UTF8Encoding”

      Example : “System.IO.FileInfo”

      Example : “System.Windows.Forms”

      Example : AutoItX3 Custom .NET Assembly AutoItX

      Example : Compile Code C# and Code VB

      Example : Compile Code C# at Runtime

       
      WHO : Created the CLR.au3 UDF
      All credits go to : Danyfirex / Larsj / Trancexx  / Junkew
       
      TO DO : The library is still Work in Process …
      (Some of the GUI Controls are not yet working as expected...)
      Anyone is free to participate in contributing to get the bugs resolved and to expand the CLR.au3 functionality ...

      Best ways to receive file from and to transfer file to a desktop app
      By 5ervant
      What's the best way to receive file from a desktop app?
      app.exe will execute a cmd with "au3file.exe /path/of/the/file.xml" and the au3file.exe will get and delete that. Or else? THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE QUESTION
      And best way to transfer file to a desktop app?
      au3file.exe do a $_POST request and the app.exe MUST HAVE a local HTTP server that can receive $_POST, but it looks heavy 'cause the app must have a server such XAMPP. au3file.exe execute a cmd with "app.exe /path/of/the/file.xml" and the app.exe will now get that file and delete. Or else?
