Setting up Web Dev 2012 Express

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I’ve been using QuickPDF within Delphi for a few years.   Now trying to use it in our web site.  My problem is accessing the libraries in my
development tools.  As an aside, adding libraries
always seem to be my biggest problem as they seen to install in so many
different ways.

Using Microsoft Web Developer 2010 express.

Using QuickPDF 8.16

Incorporating into a web site using .Net 4.0 in  C# 

Machine is running 
32-bit Window 2003 Server.

What I did...  (which
doesn’t work) is similar to the way I added MS Word:

·        
Used regsvr32 to install the QuickPDFAX0816.dlll

·        
Within Web developer Express:

·        
Select : “Add Reference…”  to my project

·        
Select the COM Tab

·        
Select: Quick PDF Library 8.16

·        
Get the error: 
 “A reference to ‘Quick PDF
Library 8.16’ could not be added. Converting the type library to a .NET
assembly failed.  No process is associated
with this object.”

What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps I don’t need to do any setup at all and just need to
use the correct “Using” statement.  
Which  brings up the last question
which is:

       “What is the ‘Using’  statement is should use?”

	Correction on the Subject. It is Web Developer 2010 Express as is mentioned in the body. My apologies.

	QuickPDFAX0816.dll is not a .NET based DLL/ActiveX but is a pure Windows DLL (Win32). I don't have Web Developer 2010 Express experience but since it is .NET based then it should be a similar process to that of adding the ActiveX to a C# project. The QuickPDFAX0816.cs file loads and initialises the DLL for you in theory all you need to do is add the QuickPDFAX0816.cs file to your project as an existing item. using QuickPDFAX0816; // The Using statement. .. .. private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { PDFLibrary QP = new PDFLibrary(); int ret = QP.LoadFromFile("pages.pdf", ""); QP.SaveToFile("out.pdf"); ...

	Thanks! That's what I needed. I wondered what that file was for. It's obvious after you know it! In addition, the file needs to be in the App_Code folder of the web project. MANY THANKS.
