I need to create a add-in for data card button.

I tried something, But its not working properly.

here are my codes

Imports EdmLib


Public Class VbAddinSS


Implements IEdmAddIn5


Private vault1 As IEdmVault5 = Nothing


Public Sub GetAddInInfo(ByRef poInfo As EdmAddInInfo, poVault As IEdmVault5, poCmdMgr As IEdmCmdMgr5) Implements IEdmAddIn5.GetAddInInfo


poInfo.mbsAddInName = "Test1"
poInfo.mbsCompany = "Test"
poInfo.mbsDescription = "For Testing"
poInfo.mlAddInVersion = 1
poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMajor = 10
poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMinor = 0


'Get Card Button Click
poCmdMgr.AddHook(EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_CardButton)


End Sub


Public Sub OnCmd(ByRef poCmd As EdmCmd, ByRef ppoData As Array) Implements IEdmAddIn5.OnCmd


If Left(poCmd.mbsComment, 9) = "MyButton:" Then


MsgBox("Reached")


End If






End Sub
End Class

When I click the button its prompt the following error.

Please fix this

Thanks

Correct Answer

Check this article (especially points 4 and 5): How To Create SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional Add-In

Most likely you are targeting to Framework 4.0 or newer and you are using wrong version of interop.

  Thanks. That's works fine.
  Could you please suggest some example to get the checked out status of the file which this card belongs to ?
  I need to get the status of the file whether this file has been checked out or not.
  
  Thanks a lot

    IEdmVault7 vault2 = null;
    if (vault1 == null)
    {
        vault1 = new EdmVault5();
    }
    vault2 = (IEdmVault7)vault1;
    if (!vault1.IsLoggedIn)
    {
        //Log into selected vault as the current user
        vault1.LoginAuto(VaultsComboBox.Text, this.Handle.ToInt32());
    }
    
    IEdmFile9 aFile = default(IEdmFile9);
    IEdmFolder5 ppoRetParentFolder;
    aFile = (IEdmFile9)vault2.GetFileFromPath(ListBox.Items[0].ToString(), out ppoRetParentFolder);
    
    bool checkedOut = false;
    checkedOut = aFile.IsLocked;
    
    msg = msg + "File is checked out? " + checkedOut + Constants.vbLf;
    if (checkedOut)
    {
    msg = msg + "Lock path: " + aFile.LockPath + Constants.vbLf;
    msg = msg + "Locked by: " + aFile.LockedByUser.Name + ", User ID: " + aFile.LockedByUserID + Constants.vbLf;
    msg = msg + "Locked in: " + aFile.LockedInFolder.Name + ", Folder ID: " + aFile.LockedInFolderID + Constants.vbLf;
    msg = msg + "Locked on: " + aFile.LockedOnComputer;
    }
    MessageBox.Show(msg);

        Dim aFile As IEdmFile9
                    aFile = vault2.GetFileFromPath(ListBox.Items(0).ToString())
