Passing Key-Value pair to a COM method in C#
- by Sinnerman
Hello,
I have the following problem:
I have a project in C# .Net where I use a third party COM component.
So the problem is that the above component has a method, which takes a string and a number of key-value pairs as arguments. I already managed to call that method through JavaScript like that:
var srcName
srcName = top.cadView.addSource( 'Database', { driver : 'Oracle', host : '10.10.1.123', port : 1234, database : 'someSID', user : 'someuser', password : 'somepass' } )
if ( srcName != '' )
{
...
}
... and it worked perfectly well. However I have no idea how to do the same using C#. I tried passing the pairs as Dictionary and Struct/Class but it throws me a "Specified cast is not valid." exception. I also tried using Hashtable like that:
Hashtable args = new Hashtable();
args.Add("driver", "Oracle");
args.Add("host", "10.10.1.123");
args.Add("port", 1234);
args.Add("database", "someSID");
args.Add("user", "someUser");
args.Add("password", "samePass");
String srcName = axCVCanvas.addSource("Database", args);
and although it doesn't throw an exception it still won't do the job, writing me in a log file
[ Error] [14:38:33.281]
Cad::SourceDB::SourceDB(): missing
parameter 'driver'
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
