Dll created by C #. Program code below:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using EdmLib;

namespace SetInventarNumber_library

{

public class SetSerNo

{

private void IEdmAddin_GetAddInInfo(EdmLib.EdmAddInInfo poInfo, EdmLib.IEdmVault5 poVault, EdmLib.IEdmCmdMgr5 poCmdMgr)

{

poInfo.mbsAddInName = "My first add-in";

poInfo.mbsCompany = "My";

poInfo.mbsDescription = "This is a very nice add-in.";

poInfo.mlAddInVersion = 1;

poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMajor = 5;

poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMinor = 2;

poCmdMgr.AddCmd( 1, "My first menu command");

}

private void IEdmAddIn5_OnCmd(EdmLib.EdmCmd poCmd, EdmLib.EdmCmdData ppoData)

{

EdmVault5 Vault;

Vault = (EdmVault5)poCmd.mpoVault;

Vault.MsgBox(poCmd.mlParentWnd, "Hello World!");

string str = UpSreNo(Vault);

Vault.MsgBox(poCmd.mlParentWnd, str);

}

//************************************************************************************************//

private string UpSreNo(EdmVault5 Vault)

{

IEdmSerNoGen6 Generator = Vault.CreateUtility(EdmUtility.EdmUtil_SerNoGen);

string next_number = Generator.GenerateSerNo("Инвентарный номер подлинника");

return next_number;

}

when added to the Add - in an administrative tool gives an error:

Please select at least one dll, which implements the interface IEdmAddin5

Correct Answer

Andrey,

There are 2 things to check in the assembly properties for this error, make sure your assembly is COM visible:

Then make sure you have chosen not to embed interop types and the interop is copied locally:

After you compile you should get 2 dll's, select both when you are installing the add-in.

  I have not sent the correct code, it does not even compile. Here's the code is compiled. But this is C #, not VB. And you sent a sample solution to the problem VB.
  
  Below is the code with the implementation of the interface IEdmAddin5 in the language C #.
  
  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using EdmLib;
  
  namespace SetInventarNumber_library
  {
      public class SetSerNo : IEdmAddIn5
      {
          public void GetAddInInfo(ref EdmAddInInfo poInfo, IEdmVault5 poVault, IEdmCmdMgr5 poCmdMgr)
          {
              poInfo.mbsAddInName = "My first add-in";
              poInfo.mbsCompany = "SPC-ALMAZ-FAZOTRON";
              poInfo.mbsDescription = "This is a very nice add-in.";
              poInfo.mlAddInVersion = 1;
              poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMajor = 5;
              poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMinor = 2;
              poCmdMgr.AddCmd(1, "My first menu command");
          }
  
          public void OnCmd(ref EdmCmd poCmd, ref Array ppoData)
          {
              EdmVault5 Vault;
              Vault = (EdmVault5)poCmd.mpoVault;
              Vault.MsgBox(poCmd.mlParentWnd, "Hello World!");
              string str = UpSreNo(Vault);
              Vault.MsgBox(poCmd.mlParentWnd, str);
          }
          //************************************************************************************************//
          private string UpSreNo(EdmVault5 Vault)
          {
              IEdmSerNoGen6 Generator = Vault.CreateUtility(EdmUtility.EdmUtil_SerNoGen);
              string next_number = Generator.GenerateSerNo("Инвентарный номер подлинника");
              return next_number;
          }
      }
  }
  
  In the first image, all as it should
  and that's what is shown in the second image is not in the C # project.
  
  The project compiles without errors. The result is a file SetInventarNumber_library.dll. But when you add the file to the administrative tool, there is the same error as before.

    When you create the addin, are you selecting both your dll and the Interop.EdmLib.dll?

      Where can I take Interop.EdmLib.dll. This file should appear when you compile the project or not?

        Ensure you have the properties of the library set as Charlie described. The Interop should be created when you complile your application.

There are templates for EPDM add-ins on the SolidWorks website that worked well for me. I set them up according to the instructions and when I start a new program in Visual Studio I select the template for the add-ins there are both VB and C# templates.

  But then there was the next problem.: Dll file is added, and in the context menu command is added "My first menu command", but when I call the command, nothing happens. Although the actions have to be generated in the method OnCMD:
  
  public void OnCmd(ref EdmCmd poCmd, ref Array ppoData)
          {
              EdmVault5 Vault = new EdmVault5();
              Vault = (EdmVault5)poCmd.mpoVault;
              Vault.MsgBox(poCmd.mlParentWnd, "Hello World!");
  
          }
  
  Or something I did not understand?

  And a couple of notes:
  
  public void OnCmd(ref EdmCmd poCmd, ref Array ppoData) { // No need for the below line. The vault should be referenced from // the EdmCmd struct. // EdmVault5 Vault = new EdmVault5(); EdmVault5 Vault = (EdmVault5)poCmd.mpoVault; // we should check for the correct type of command we're looking for. if (poCmd.meCmdType == EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_Menu) { Vault.MsgBox(poCmd.mlParentWnd, "Hello World!"); } }

    Nothing is impossible. Describe the sequence of actions in full:
    1. Create a new project (a class library Visual C #)
    2. Add a link:
    
    3. Tune:
    4. I write code:
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using EdmLib;
    
    namespace TestAddin
    {
        public class Class1 : IEdmAddIn5
        {
            public void GetAddInInfo(ref EdmAddInInfo poInfo, IEdmVault5 poVault, IEdmCmdMgr5 poCmdMgr)
            {
                poInfo.mbsAddInName = "My first add-in";
                poInfo.mbsCompany = "My organization";
                poInfo.mbsDescription = "This is a very nice add-in.";
                poInfo.mlAddInVersion = 1;
                poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMajor = 5;
                poInfo.mlRequiredVersionMinor = 2;
                poCmdMgr.AddCmd(1, "My first menu command v1");
            }
            public void OnCmd(ref EdmCmd poCmd, ref Array ppoData)
            {
                EdmVault5 Vault = (EdmVault5)poCmd.mpoVault;
                if (poCmd.meCmdType == EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_Menu)
                {
                    Vault.MsgBox(poCmd.mlParentWnd, "Hello World!");
                }
                Vault.MsgBox(poCmd.mlParentWnd, "Hello World!");
            }
        }
    }
    
    5. compile (Shift + F6)
    6.Copy the 2 files in the directory "D: \ Testaddin": from the directory "Debug" - file TestAddin. dll, and from the directory obj\Debug file Interop.EdmLib.dll.
    7. Go to the administration tool
    8. Reboot PC
    9. Go to EPDM-client
    10. Nothing happens

      I just created a quick addin using the code above and it worked fine. Attached is the project. (Register for COM interop is not required.)
      
      Log out of your vault and go to your Plugins directory and delete the folder correpsonding to your addin. (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\SolidWorks\SolidWorks Enterprise PDM\Plugins)

        What you need to add that you can use the add-in as a task? For example, to the transition from one state to another window appeared Hello World?
        
        Could you please send me the realization of this add-in with support for tasks?
