run vb.net dll instead of c# dll

[rayray4105]

Hi,

Is there a way to run vb.net dll instead of c# dll? I have some routines in different coding and I would like to run them both.

regards, Raymond

I found a quick tutorial on how to call a vb.net function from IronPython. This tutorial is for IronPython 1.1.1 (RBP runs 2.7.x?), but the idea should be the same.

As far as I can see, you should be able to use the same method to execute as C# using the .dll import.

You are absolutely right. Running VB code works in the same manner. AddReferenceToFile can be replace with AddRefence I believe.

clr.AddReferenceToFile("AutorunTestDLL.dll")
from AutorunTestDLL import Autorun

Autorun.AutorunTestShared(doc,uiapp)

Passing arguments also possible when using a 'public shared sub' or 'public shared function

Public Class Autorun

    Public Shared Sub AutorunTestShared(ByVal doc As Document, ByVal uiapp As UIApplication)

    End Sub

End Class

Thanks for the info and I'm glad you got it working!

I'll go ahead and add your comments to the documentation.

btw, you can do block code comments by doing ``` at the top and bottom (single ` is just for single line)
