New to X# and need some direction

[lumberjack]

Hi Tom,

and I can see it, it installed into the default app in VS - but I can't see it from XIDE

Not sure if I miss the point, but look at the attached screenshot. The browse tab let you add a reference from any directory. Press the browse disk for dll files. Go to where VS installed it and voila.

Hi Karl,

of course one could use this - but unfortunately I have no experience with this.

Until now I have created a C# project, added the libraries there and copied them over to my X# project.

Thanks for all the comments, I have progressed ore than I expected but have got stuck again and this time it is getting more interesting. So far I have got XIDE working in native , loaded the relevant sample form app and got it running. In VS have loaded the MYOM SDK and managed to get it working. Wow!
Through VS I am able to connect to MYOB, the C# sample app returns the datafile info so I know it works to some extent but fails to compile and run when I have these two lines:
var accountService = new AccountService(configuration);
var accounts = accountService.GetRange(companyFile, null, credentials);

Just for reference, this is the full code posted on the MYOB site:

using MYOB.AccountRight.SDK;
using MYOB.AccountRight.SDK.Services;
using MYOB.AccountRight.SDK.Contracts;

var configuration = new ApiConfiguration("http://localhost:8080/accountright");
var cfService = new CompanyFileService(configuration);
var companyFiles = cfService.GetRange();
var companyFile = companyFiles.FirstOrDefault(x => new Version(x.ProductVersion) >= new Version("2013.3"));
var credentials = new CompanyFileCredentials("Administrator", "muffin023H");
var accountService = new AccountService(configuration);
var accounts = accountService.GetRange(companyFile, null, credentials);

so if I comment out the last two lines of code it works, and no error, but if included I get this error :

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS0246 The type or namespace name 'AccountService' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) WindowsFormsApp1 C:Usersintersoft.SBSsourcereposWindowsFormsApp1WindowsFormsApp1Program.cs 30 Active

In X# in XIDE I do not get this far unfortunately.
Using the same code if complains about JSON is missing, which is strange as with exact same inclusion C# in VS doesn't complain and goes a few lines further

Just puzzled a little

Hi Tom,

System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

In XIDE it seems you copied the MYOB assembly to the XIDE path. However NewtonJSON is an assembly that MYOB reference, so get it into the same folder as your MYOB assembly and it would work.

Johan

Hi Tom,

to understand what is going on, maybe you should read this article:
docs.xsharp.it/doku.php?id=namespace_assembly_reference

If something is not clear, please let me know, so I can make it clearer

Tom,

Code: Select all

var accountService = new AccountService(configuration);
var accounts = accountService.GetRange(companyFile, null, credentials);

This should be: var accountService := AccountService{configuration}
var accounts = accountService:GetRange(companyFile, null, credentials)

Note the colon vs fullstop. My personal way of thinking is:
A "dot" is NOTHING special, it's a character like any other.
So, tom.dieselworks is simply a name.
The colon is an operator, so tom:dieselworks asks the compiler for the value which the property dieselworks of object tom holds at this moment.
Never understood why MS made such a fuss with "namespace". There's no such thing, it is only a convention to name things coherently...
(FTR, i know there's a small glitch in my argumentation as VO and unfortunately X# treat "structures" special, in using the dot for accessing members of strucs. Again, i see no reason why this made it into core - you have to declare strucs like objects, so the compiler knows what it has at hand and could handle this correctly, but this is getting OT <g>)

Hi Karl,

Code: Select all

var accountService = new AccountService(configuration);
var accounts = accountService.GetRange(companyFile, null, credentials);

This should be: var accountService := AccountService{configuration}
var accounts = accountService:GetRange(companyFile, null, credentials)

Note the colon vs fullstop. My personal way of thinking is:

Be careful what you say. If you look at Tom's code it is the c# version. you read it as "X#", so yes .GetRange should change to :GetRange in X#, but stay .GetRange in c#.

As I read his problem, he did not copy the NewtonJSON assembly also into his XIDE bindebug folder, hence the MYOB assembly cannot find it.

Johan,
i stand corrected, re-reading i see you are right. Sorry for confusing...

[tom@dieselworks.com.au]

Thanks Johan, You are most likely right, the only issue I have is that I have no idea what to copy where? I have located two folders in the project that I have set up in C# / Vs and copied them over into a new folder under the XIDE test project. Then I set up the references.

Both of these, the MYOB and JSON has a number of subfolders and to be honest I have no clue what to do here. I have copied the v4.0 folder of the JSon DLL into the v4.0 version of MYOB SDK but I still have the message
