i!-PCLinkXtra.ocx in C#

hi together

is there anyone who have written a programm with i!-PCLinkXtra in C#?
I have written a little Test-Software, but i can't connect to the master with the ActiveX
Component.
Can anyone tell me how i must initialize the OCX in the Code?

thanks a lot
John

I would just use the DLL implementation. The sample files provided with it give you a good start for hacking away. My advice is to check them out, they are well commented and give you a basic framework for anything you need really.

I just added the osx to the toolbox, then dragged it to the form. Seem to work ok for me...

Not sure if you found a solution or if anyone else is looking for one. Only just joined the forum.

.NET doesn't work very well with OCX's. You need to download "AXIMP.EXE" from Microsoft and drag and drop the OCX onto it. This will produce an Interopable dll that you can then make a reference to and access everything. Events and ConnectToMaster and such. I use it often in C#.
