So I have Wonderware Archestra IDE 4.1. Basically latest and greatest that is 2015 on a server
I have a C# class library called WordControls that is created in Visual Studio 2015 on my laptop. When I build it, the release is a dll file of the same name.
I copy and paste the dll file into the server's Documents folder and it should be as simple as moving the mouse to the top left and drilling down to this: Galaxy -> Import -> Client Control
And from there I select my dll file that I created and click Ok. Then click Ok again on the default. And finally it goes through the import process. Except that instead of importing the file in, I get something slightly different:
"Processing file WordControls.dll.... Imported total of 0 object(s) from 1 file(s)"
It fails to import the dll and I don't know why. I've done it before in my previous job on a 2014 Archestra and Visual Studio 2013 so I cannot seem to figure out what I've done wrong.
Has anyone had the experience in working with the client control aspect of Archestra IDE?
When I look at the SMC logger I get these two warnings:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c Dependant File does not exist.
Controls not found in C:\Users\vegeto18\Documents\WordControls.dll.
I’m not sure what to make of the first warning besides the fact that my program does use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word to work with MS docs and that the server doesn’t have MS Office (the terminal servers that are deployed with Intouch view apps).
The second part I’m not exactly sure how to interpret since that is where the dll is located after I copy it from my laptop and paste it into that folder.
This would be my code:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using System.IO;
namespace WordControls
{
public partial class DocBrowser : Form
{
private System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser webBrowser1;
delegate void ConvertDocumentDelegate(string fileName);
public DocBrowser()
{
InitializeComponent();
// Create the webBrowser control on the UserControl.
// This code was moved from the designer for cut and paste
// ease.
webBrowser1 = new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser();
webBrowser1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
webBrowser1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
webBrowser1.MinimumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(20, 20);
webBrowser1.Name = "webBrowser1";
webBrowser1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(532, 514);
webBrowser1.TabIndex = 0;
Controls.Add(webBrowser1);
// set up an event handler to delete our temp file when we're done with it.
webBrowser1.DocumentCompleted += webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted;
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var url = "http://qualityworkbench/ivscripts/qwbcgi.dll/docfetchraw?db=live&id=1090";
LoadDocument(url);
}
string tempFileName = null;
public void LoadDocument(string fileName)
{
// Call ConvertDocument asynchronously.
ConvertDocumentDelegate del = new ConvertDocumentDelegate(ConvertDocument);
// Call DocumentConversionComplete when the method has completed.
del.BeginInvoke(fileName, DocumentConversionComplete, null);
}
void ConvertDocument(string fileName)
{
object m = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object oldFileName = (object)fileName;
object readOnly = (object)false;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application ac = null;
try
{
// First, create a new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass.
ac = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
// Now we open the document.
Document doc = ac.Documents.Open(ref oldFileName, ref m, ref readOnly,
ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m,
ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m);
// Create a temp file to save the HTML file to.
tempFileName = GetTempFile("html");
// Cast these items to object. The methods we're calling
// only take object types in their method parameters.
object newFileName = (object)tempFileName;
// We will be saving this file as HTML format.
object fileType = (object)WdSaveFormat.wdFormatHTML;
// Save the file.
doc.SaveAs(ref newFileName, ref fileType,
ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m,
ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m);
}
finally
{
// Make sure we close the application class.
if (ac != null)
ac.Quit(ref readOnly, ref m, ref m);
}
}
void DocumentConversionComplete(IAsyncResult result)
{
// navigate to our temp file.
webBrowser1.Navigate(tempFileName);
}
void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender,
WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (tempFileName != string.Empty)
{
// delete the temp file we created.
File.Delete(tempFileName);
// set the tempFileName to an empty string.
tempFileName = string.Empty;
}
}
string GetTempFile(string extension)
{
// Uses the Combine, GetTempPath, ChangeExtension,
// and GetRandomFile methods of Path to
// create a temp file of the extension we're looking for.
return Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(),
Path.ChangeExtension(Path.GetRandomFileName(), extension));
}
}
}
