.NET DLL error Unable to locate object by Id

[e.russo]

Hi,

I use a .NET DLL in my centura program.
In some machines when I invoke a method return error "Unable to locate object by id : 11331267889.
In others machines works!!!


Any ideas?


Thank in advanvancing

Are you using GAIL or ActiveX to communicate with the component?

When you created ActiveX library from the component, make sure when generating the library you use Generate by Name instead of Generate by Dispatch ID.

Hi,

thank you

Where I can find "Generate by Name" option? I am in 61 win32. In .NET Explorer I select assembly file/application library(APL) and then I select my class and output path, but I can not find the option.


Now if I copy SalCDK.dll in program directory my program works.
How can I redistribute my .NET DLL with TD Deploy?

So you are using the .NET Explorer. In that case you don't have this option.
The generate by name or id is part of the ActiveX Explorer.

Hi all,

I know its a long time ago, but perhaps someone else has the same problems and benefits from the answer.

This error indicates, that the runtime can't load the .NET assembly. We experienced a few possible reasons:

- Deployment not installed on the machine, or wrong version of deployment installed
- .NET Framework not installed, or wrong version of .NET Framework installed
- .NET assembly doesn't reside in the directory, where the call comes from (we put it in the runtime directory with all exe files - that works well)
- very mean: If you copy the dll to the runtime, then check via "Rightclick" => "Properties", if Windows blocked the file because its copied from an unsave destination (happens e.g. if you drag and drop the files out of a zip file). You have to click the "unblock" Button in the Properties Dialog, afterwards the assembly can be loaded

I'm sure there are more possible reasons, because its a quite generic error.

Holger
