.NET Journey

[jtemple]

I've decided to put the new blogging software I'm using to good use. I've started a blog that deals with writing .NET/C# code that specifically deals with connecting to the iSeries. I've got a couple of posts now and one that actually details what to download (it's all free) and an example program to wet your whistle!


Today I finished an example program that shows how to do a "subfile" type program in .NET complete with page at a time loading!h

Re: .NET Journey

Hi Jonas:

I'm trying to follow your .net example and have run into the following issue.

When I try to compile with the following:

C:\iseries_net>csc /r:"C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.dll"

I get the following messages:

error CS2001: Source file 'Files\IBM\Client' could not be found
error CS2001: Source file 'Access\IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.dll'' could not be found
fatal error CS2008: No inputs specified

Would you be kind enough to guide me through this error?

If this is not the proper place for questions please direct me to the proper place.

Thanks
GLS

Re: .NET Journey

It looks like it is choking on the spaces in your path when parsing for compilation. Files\IBM\Client is the middle part and 'Access\IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.dll' is the last part...

Thanks Bryce:

I had that part figured out ...... but ...... What's the work around?

Using the dos notation with the tilda? adding more quotes?

Thanks

Re: .NET Journey

I would guess you should consult the compiler's help docs. They usually tell you how to work around that stuff. I'm unfamiliar with CSC compiler...

Re: .NET Journey

try replacing the spaces with %20

Re: .NET Journey

maybe create a share and use that????

Re: .NET Journey

OK

What I found was that all the quotes were invalid characters (?)when I copy/pasted them. When I replaced them with " in both the compile command and the program all was created correctly.

the ? character is not the " character

Thanks to All who helped

Re: .NET Journey

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'll try and copy/paste myself and see if I can correct the text on the web site.

I'm just glad someone's trying it! Need to work on the next installment, though.
