The name of the DotNetAssembly object.

assemblypath

The name and location of the .NET assembly (*.dll).

The location can be an absolute path or a relative path. When a relative path is executed in the development environment, it is relative to the location of the PBT file; when a relative path is executed in the production environment, it is relative to the installation location of the application's executable file.

dotnetcoreversion (optional)

The highest .NET Core version to be supported. 2.1 and later versions are supported. For example, if the value is 3, it supports 3.x, the latest release for version 3 which is currently installed on the machine. If the value is not specified, it supports the latest version currently installed on the machine.


Return value

Integer.

Returns values as follows. If any argument's value is null, the method returns null.

1 -- Success.

-1 -- Unknown error.

-2 -- Could not find the assembly.

-3 -- It's not a valid assembly.

-4 -- The assembly requires a dependent assembly.

-19 -- Cannot find the .NET Core runtime.

-20 -- Failed to load the .NET Core virtual machine.

Examples

The following example loads a DLL with .NET Core 2.1.6:

Long ll_return
String ls_dll
DotNetAssembly  lcs_ass

//Specifies a DLL in the relative path
ls_dll = "Appeon.Simple.dll"

//Instantiates the DotNetAssembly object
lcs_ass = create DotNetAssembly

//Loads the DLL with .NET Core 2.1.6
ll_return = lcs_ass.LoadWithDotNetCore(ls_dll,"2.1.6")

//Loads the DLL with the most curret .NET Core version on this machine
//ll_return = lcs_ass.LoadWithDotNetCore(ls_dll)

//Checks the result
If ll_return < 0 then
   Messagebox("Load "+ls_dll+" Failed", lcs_ass.ErrorText)
   Return ll_return
End if
