StarBurn and .Net 4.0

Is there official support for StarBurn and the .Net 4.0 framework?

I've been having considerable difficulties getting it to work correctly. Curiously, there does not seem to be any problems compiling or running the executable directly, but when run through Visual Studio's debugging mode an exception is thrown immediately upon instantiation of the StarBurnX class. I've tried using various combinations of DLLs (the interop, manifest, starburnx) but they all behave in the same manner (though when I use the manifest I get different exception errors, they're far less verbose).

This is the exception detail from using the interop dll:

Code:

Does any one have any info on this? I'd like some sort of answer, even if it's just a plain "No" (though I really hope not).

Hello,

Try to refresh reference on the StarBurnX component! Remove the current StarBurnX interop reference and add new reference on StarBurnX COM component ( not to StarBurnX interop !!! )! As result the new valid "interop" will be generated!!

Regards,

Dmitry

Unfortunately, I've tried this numerous times and always get the same results (exception upon class instantiation). I was only using the interop DLL because I had run out of other options for things to try out.

Additionally, I changed the target platform on the sample C# audio burner app from .Net 3 to .Net 4 and immediately got the exact same issue.

1) Did you start your Visual Studio IDE under the Admin rights?

2) So .. we will check this issue!

Thanx,

Dmitry

Yes, Visual Studio has full permissions.

Hello,

1) We have tested our C# samples with Visual Studio 2010 and .Net 4.0 ... all works fine!

2) So you should try to:
- remove old reference on the StaBurnX12 interrop;
- add new reference on the StaBurnX12.dll!!! [ "Add Reference ... "->COM->StarBurnX 12 Type library ]!!
- open properties window for the newly added reference and set the "Embeded Interop Types" property value with FALSE!!!
- specify target platform - x86 or x64 [ not ANY CPU!!].

- use the InitializeEx function and specify the SPTD transport ( instead of the SPTI ).

Dmitry

I originally tested this out with your sample C# files (and just tried it out again to be certain). I'm testing with the AudioBurner project for VS2008, I converted the project to VS2010 format and changed the target framework to .NET Framework 4 Client Profile. Running the project in debugging mode (F5) causes an immediate exception on line 372:

Code:

m_starBurnX = new StarBurnX();

Running without debugging seems to work fine, however this is unacceptable for development purposes.

I guess I'm just going to have to wrap all of my calls to the starburn API with checks against the debugger, since there doesn't really seem to be any other way around this at the moment.

Hello,

I have tested AudioBurner once more with the "Framework 4 Client Profile" ... "DEBUG" works fine!!! .. so

1) Try to re-register the StarBurnX12.dll using the "regsvr32' utility;

2) Try to download the latest update of StarBurnX : link was removed

Regards,

Dmitry

I actually downloaded the v12_340 version a while back when I saw it mentioned in another thread. Using the regsvr32 utility did not make any noticeable difference.

For clarification, my issue is not a build error, nor is it related to the build configuration. The application will compile just fine in both Release and Debug configurations. Additionally, the executable itself will operate without any problems. The exception only occurs when attempting to run the application through Visual Studio with the debugger attached (allowing you to use breakpoints, etc). I've had another developer attempt to use the DLL on a different computer with the exact same results (immediate exception on StarBurnX instantiation).

Yes, I understand you well! I do the same and ... it works!

Note: StarBurnX component uses the StarBurn.dll. Check is your version of StarBurn.dll up-to-date.

Dmitry

This article may help. It outlines each step. The key was getting the DLL registered as a COM so we could include it in our project.

We spent a lot of time trying to figure this out, then we pieced together the step-by-step based on the clues provided here.

Oh, thank you very much for your valuable feedback. It did help a lot!

P.S. Please do not remove quoted URL as we'd like to have it forever

Hallo,

I am using VS 2010, .Net 4.0 client profile, installed the updates and done everything mentioned in this page.
I am using the trial version to test the SDK.
I still cannot start the program with debugger.

Error:
Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {B756C224-A1EA-44F8-95C1-9F726040C800} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80010105.

I find that the file "Interop.RocketDivision.StarBurnX.dll" is automatically created in the Release\Debug folder.

What I could do is to start the application without attaching the debugger, I get the trial version ... message and later on I could attach with VS using Attach to process...

I find it inconvenient to use the API like this, any suggestions would be helpful...

Hello,

1) If you have downloaded the latest StarBurnX update link was removed you should manually register the StarBurnX.dll using the 'regsvr32' utility.

2) Next, you should remove the old StarBurnX.interop reference from your project.

3) Next, go to the "Add Reference->COM" configuration page and select the 'StarBurnX 12 Type library'. As result, the new StarBurnX.interop file will be generated and attached into your project!

Regards,

Dmitry
