VB.NET port from c#

jinja — Sat, 20 May 2006 03:25:09 GMT

Hi,

I'm just starting to experiment with upnp....

I used Device Builder to create a C# stack for a Media Server.

But I prefer to use VB.NET, so I ported the code (I thought succesfully)..

The CDS runs, is appearing in DeviceSpy, and I can invoke Browse etc, but all parameters are inputs, ie. no data is ever returned.Does anyone have a sample that they've ported to VB.NET?? Could DeviceBuilder be changed to export VB code?

I'd love to attach my project to share, but it seems I can't....

Thanks for listening anyway!

No one that I know of has ported the Device Builder to export VB .Net. I don't think there are any plans to in the future. However that said perhaps if you gave me a few more details on I might give you a little more help. Also did you look at the UPnP packet sniffer to see what is going on. That is very helpful. Did you compile the C# code and is it working?

Let me know.

Thanks

Rich

Fair enough.

The generated code is working fine.

I gave up on porting this to VB.NET as there seemed to be a problem with the 'byref' VB.NET definition not doing what the 'out' does in C# (in conjunction with the Intel upnp dlls).

Instead I just created a dll wrapper of the generated code and stuck that into my VB.NET project. Problem solved.

Cheers!
