I can't try personally (only have the normal version of DBC) but I've setup the C-Style linking so it should. I'm hoping someone with DBC will give it a try for us.

no you don't use it like that!

put _CPP in your plugins-user directory
put dbp_netlib.dll in your exe directory

call commands directly like

strNow as string
strnow=dt_GetNow()


that's it.

call all the commands from code directly - no load dll call dll business.

Ok, I had the doc file ... but I didn't find any plugins-user directory, so I got them both with the exe file.
So where shall I place them ?

In the Compiler directory, there should be a plugins-user directory. Put the DLL there.

I think Damokles is talking about DBClassic.

try this:


Don't know if this works as I don't have the .net framework installed.
One thing though: DBPro TPCs use a different calling convention (cdecl) than the CALL DLL commands (stdcall). So you might experience occasional crashes.

Yeah, I am talking about classic (enhanced).
Thanks, empty, but didn't work

The Coding Area, there is no plugins-user directory in the Compiler directory.

You need to put it in the same folder where your source code is.
And then try my example again.

Sorry, but my Darkbasic is in German, I got this error-message :
"Laufzeitfehler in Zeile 3. Der DLL Aufruf ist gescheitert"
Which means : "Runtime Error in line 3. The dll calling failed"
I hope my translation was not too bad.

Do you have .Net installed ? And, as Empty stated previously, it may not work for Classic anyway...

I installed .Net some time ago, didn't even know what it was for ... just a programm needed it.
And now seeing what this DLL could do, I was kinda interrested ... and if you can make it available for DBC-enhanced, it would be really nice

I will have to talk to Exeat more about this issue with dbce as I am writing the vb.net code and he is writing the wrapper C++ dll.

we will look into why it is not working with dbce

aside from that it should all be good with dbp.

we may have a new added feature (sick) by tonight...

Is the Call DLL command the same in DBP as DBC? In which case, this worked fine for me:

the documentation has been updated to reflect the new functionality of str_Split() and str_GetSplit(). If anyone is using the lib you might wanna take a look at the new doc (in the zip)

thanks
