I'm trying to communicate my application VB6 (et VBA) with MS Project 2007 so I would like to use the MPXJ library. The problem is that I dont know if it's possible to use these .net libraries with my VB6 application. I cant add the .dll directly

How could I do this, ideas? I can't migrate my code to vb.net

thanks

I'm pleased to say that MPXJ can be used via COM. You'll need to download version 4.5.0 from SourceForge. In the lib.net directory you'll find the DLLs and TLBs you'll need. You will need to use regasm to register the assemblies for use with COM. There are some brief notes here on working with MPXJ via COM.

You may find the notes here useful as they discuss the three different flavours of mpxj.dll that are shipped, and MPXJ's dependencies.

I'd be happy to update the documentation on working with MPXJ via COM in the light of your experience!

  • I registered the dlls via regasm but I had to add \tlb \codebase to the bat instructions. Now VB6 recognize the lirary and I can read a document. Anyway I having problems with adding task durations for example, I dont know how to set the duration value or type (hour, day, etc). – Katherine Gutierrez Sep 12 '14 at 14:19
