#1 Burning Software

Hello, please i want to know if exists a sample code on how to use your OCX with Visual Basic Express 2005 and/or Visual C# Express 2005.

Should be very useful for me to have at least one important function working, as for example a GrabDisc or a DiscAtOnceFromFile.

If this code does not exists, are you planning to support the new .Net 2005?

Thank you for your time...

P.S. As i understand the .Net 2005 Edition is not able to load the ocx...i already tryied to add it manually in my toolbox..

P.S.S. Please sorry for my bad english..

Hi!

We already support .NET 2005. But StarBurn OCX is not a ActiveX control (i.e. it doesn't have visual interfaces etc.), it's just a set of COM classes. You can't add it to Toolbox, but you can see how it can be used from DataBurner C# OCX sample and DVDVideoBurner C# and VB.NET sample.

The functions you are reference (GrabDisc and DiscAtOnceFromFile) don't exist in OCX interface, only in DLL interface. If you want to use DLL interface from C# or VB.NET please look at DataBurner C# DLL sample and MultiBurner VB.NET sample.

We didn't test the samples in Visual C#/VB.NET Express editions. only in full editions, but we do it ASAP.

Hello Alexander, thanks for your reply..
I followed you suggestion and now i'm working with the Dll.

Tons of "Warnings" with the 2005 Environments, but "Zero Errors"..

My question, now, is very simple:
In the MultiBurner Example folder, there is not stored the StarBurn.Dll

Then i think of your project work on my computer for a RegistryValueKey...

But, if i want to produce an install for my application (in a far future), where i need to put the StarBurn.dll? In the same place as the executable? In System32 folder?

In the project you declared it as:
Private Declare Ansi Function StarBurn_GetVersion Lib "StarBurn.dll" () As UInt32

But where the project say where to find the real Dll?

Hope you should understand my bad english...

And Thanks...again...

Alexander, please don't reply to previous post, i discovered myself the solution..
The StarBurn.dll and WnASPi32.dll must be placed both in the same folder as my executable...thanks a lot...

My only question is: My version of StarBurn.Dll say to be the : StarBurn Version: 20060630

Is this the last one?? Where to find one updated? I copied the one i found on "C:\Programmi\Rocket Division Software\StarBurn SDK\Bin\Core\Release" is this correct?

Yes, 6.6.10 is the last one we've released.

Yes, either Release or Debug would work fine. They are identical, Debug one can maintain logs. Release cannot.

Thanks, Anton..

I just created a working model (For CD/DVD grabbing) within Visual Studio 2005 Environments.

In the old VB code there was some incompatibilities, like unilitialized structures and most important the new Cross thread Safe way to change properties of objects...

But the StarBurn.dll works perfectly and created images ROCKS!

Thanks for exist...

Excellent ) Nice to know everything works fine for you now.
