Summary
If your Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) project was created for use with Reflection version 14.0 or earlier or EXTRA! X-treme version 9.0 or earlier, it may require changes to run with Reflection 2008 or 2007.
Symptoms
If you have developed a Visual Basic (VB) application that uses early binding with prior versions of Reflection or EXTRA! Type Library, you may see the following error when attempting to build or run the project with Reflection 2008 or 2007:
Compile error: Can't find project or libraryThe VB References dialog also displays one of the following messages (where n.n is a version number):
Missing: Reflection for IBM n.n Object LibraryMissing: Attachmate EXTRA! n.n Object LibraryNote: These symptoms do not occur with scripts and applications that access the Reflection or EXTRA! COM object using version-independent late binding CreateObject() calls and do not reference the type library information (such as constant enum names).
Solution
To enable your VB project to run with Reflection 2008 or 2007 (with early binding), make the following changes.
- Modify Reflection or EXTRA! namespace references in your code as follows.
Change Reflection.Session to ReflectionCOM.Session. For example:
ribm = New ReflectionCOM.Session |
Change EXTRA to EXTRACOM. For example:
sys = New EXTRACOM.ExtraSystem |
- In the project References dialog, use "ReflectionCOM" or "EXTRACOM" as appropriate.
- Re-compile your project code.
