C # for application development with Milestones Professional

Question:

Can I use C# for the application programming, instead of VB?

Answer:

Yes, but you need to use InvokeMethod for all the calls to Milestones. Milestones uses late binding.

Here is an example of some calls of using C# on a web server:

using System;

using System.Collections;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.SessionState;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

namespace Sample

{

/// <summary>

/// Summary description for WebForm1.

/// </summary>

public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page

{

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

System.Type oType =System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Milestones");

object o = System.Activator.CreateInstance(oType);

oType.InvokeMember("Activate",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, new object[] {});

oType.InvokeMember("Use20Columns",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, new object[] {});

oType.InvokeMember("PutCell",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, new object[] {"1","3","From ASP.NET"});

oType.InvokeMember("SetDebugMode",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, new object[] {"On"});

oType.InvokeMember("SaveBitmap",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, new object[] {@"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\images\samplex.png"});

oType.InvokeMember("GetDebugText",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, new object[] {@"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\images\debugtext.txt"});

oType.InvokeMember("Close",System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, new object[] {});

oType = null;

o = null;

}

#region Web Form Designer generated code

override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)

{

// CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer.

InitializeComponent();

base.OnInit(e);

}

/// <summary>

/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify

/// the contents of this method with the code editor.

/// </summary>

private void InitializeComponent()

{

this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

}

#endregion

}
