VisualStudio 2017 Objects

Post by solmo »

Hi!

I'd like to develop my own Controls/Objects with VisualStudio and add it in my IX projects.

I did download the samples
iX_Developer_Third_Party_Controls
and i ran the application but isn't that i need.

For example, i'd like to do a TextBox relationated with timer or status bar in VS and add this objects or forms in my HMI (X2 PRO)

Could somebody send me any guide or example..?

Thanks!

What is your project's target? Trying to use VS 2017 on a target other than a PC you will run into errors. The reason for that is; iX projects targeted to panels uses/supports .NET framework 3.5 CE. If there is a specific library that you are trying to access, you can check msdn.com to see if it is included with the 3.5 framework.

Hi Grabiel,

I'd like to add button vinculated with a textbox that i created and developed with .Net in VS2017.
I only have to generate this project with ".Net 3.5 CE"??

And later, how I should have to publicate this object?


Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this will help, but I made a dll for a T7A panel a few years ago. To do this I needed to install visual studio 2008 which supported .NET 3.5 CF. I just configured the project's framework to 3.5 and set the target to Windows CE and it compiled and ran on the panel without issue.
