I'm doing some BOO testing in SharpDevelop trying to create an AutoCAD command that returns a string to the command line. I have references to acmgd.dll and acdbmgd.dll but when I try to compile my program I get an error message saying "adui16res.dll not found". This doesn't make sense because adui16res.dll is located in the same directory as acmgd.dll and acdbmgd.dll. I'll keep working on it but if anyone has any thoughts or ideas I'd love to hear them.
Here is a Screenshot (http://www.theswamp.org/screens/tjr/sd.png) of my error.

Hmmm, dunno. What's on lines 21 and 22?
Off topic: Is it good to have a namespace and class share the same name?

Hmmm, dunno. What's on lines 21 and 22?
21: [assembly: AssemblyTitle('BooHoo')]
22: [assembly: AssemblyDescription('A test for using BOO with AutoCAD')]
Assembly information for my dll.
Off topic: Is it good to have a namespace and class share the same name?
I don't think it matters as I've seen it done before. If someone where to import my assembly they would just be referencing BooHoo.BooHoo.
-
Sorry Tim, have no ideas.
-
Does anyone know what adui16res does. ?
Can I assume some sort of user interface Resources stuff ?
.. similarly acui16 and acui16res and adui16
I'm guessing .. paletes ???
I <just now> tried to reference it into a C# project .. no go, not compatible .. but I AM using ac2005, not 2006 .. if that makes a difference.
-
It's not on this pc so my guess is right along side yours.
On the other hand it could be A Damned Unavailable Interface (for AutoCAD 16) Requiring Exhaustive Searching ...
-
heh, good guess
... that opens the door for some interesting<perhaps> acronyms.
-
Hey hey hey keep it clean ...
:)
-
Does anyone know what adui16res does.
It contains the resources required for adui16.dll
It is required for the interface to the ToolPalette object and transparency settings.
The file contains bitmaps, cursors, dialogs, string tables, menus and the such.
-
Thanks Keith, that was my Guess ..
Wonder why Tim's stuff is trying to reference it ?
<kwb definition> stuff : technical term relating to a wide variety of stuff.

Oooh, recursive def'n.

hehehehe .. I thought you'd recognise that ..

Oh the shame to be so predictable.

Tim, I missed this comment,
... actually, It does make a difference :

I knew I had read that at some point; good eye there Mr. Brown.

That all looks good, but in a practical application does it really matter. I would suspect that provided the application does not interfere with another class or namespace it "shouldn't" make a difference. It would be an obvious problem if you duplicated the class name of an already existent class, such as in the example, Microsoft.Office ~ I don't see that being a problem while being used on a small scale, but it has broader implications on a large scale deployment.
The info is a good rule to follow, at least then you won't have to try and guess if the naming convention is what is creating your problem.

I really have no idea why booc.exe (the boo compiler) is looking for adui16res.dll. The only assemblies I am referencing in my project are acdbmgd.dll and acmgd.dll so one of them must be referencing that file. If I have local copy set to True on both dll's it will also copy the adui16res.dll into my bin/debug directory. I am assuming that this is something to do with BOO as I have not seen that dll in any C# projects I have compiled. Also I've checked the references of both dll's and I do not see anything pointing to adui16res.dll.

Hi Tim,
This may be a dumb question but we have to start somewhere, are both of the managed wrapper dll's visible in your project solution explorer?
-
Good point. This is a snap of a solution view with VC#2005
Note that the DLL's are included as References.
You seem to have them as a Viewable/editadle file ??

This is the format, using img, not ximg, of course.

Yes both dlls are there.

Ok, next...(probably should have been first ;) )
Is this a class library project or an windows application (.exe)?
If it is an .exe, you can't use the managed wrappers, you will have to use the COM interface.
And what is 'BOO' (I hope that isn't a silly question :oops: )

Mick, have a read of this (http://www.theswamp.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4870) thread.

aahhh....Thanks Daron, that clears that piece of the puzzle up :)
