    webware is used in VB6 to connect to SC4.
     VS2008 is vb.net used with RAB to connect to IRC5.




    Are wee talking SC4 controller or IRC5?

    No Webware SDK is only to bee used in VB6.

  • Thanks you very much,
  • With VB6 and the instruction
     

    Dim resulid As Long

    Dim File As String

    File= "flp1:G4_PRO.prg"

    h.S4ProgramLoad(0,File,1,resulid)

     

    should it work?
  • Hello
     

    I am sorry to say that this is wrong Wink

    No Webware SDK is only to bee used in VB6.

     

    Webware SDK is based on COM and activeX components which are still supported by Microsof tools including VB.NET and C#. Just refer toMicrosoft documentation on how to incorporate Activex component to your .NET project.


     

    I wander if there was not explanantion in the SDK documentation or Help because the events are managed a bit differently in .NET, but Microsoft describe it as COM and ACTIVEX is Microsoft Technology

     

    I had also created .NET samples which should still be in the Webware SDK CD

    They were done for VS.NET 2003 and should be upgraded to VS.NET 2008 or 2010

    Sorry to missinform, but that was what i was told from ABB back in 2006.
    Tried my self to use the activeX in VS2003 and it didn't work so i used VB6 with good results

  • I only have VS 2008 but I don't want to do something complicated only load and execute a program from the computer, Can you help me with this? whats are the instructions that I need? and how can I make it?

    Thank you for your interest

  • You need also to initiate the helper with the alias name , I imagine you did that
     You can look in the sample in the WW SDK CD or installation , there is an application called workcell which contains sample of usage of most of the features

  • Technically it works , but ABB don't support it officially, as if there is problem iit is up to microsoft to look at it
  • I looked this sample, but it don't have nothing about load programs, someone have got something of these?
    thank you
