Hi,

Just trying out the demo version in .NET and everytime I run my app I keep getting an error message saying that the ActiveX Control cannot be created.

I have checked the object is registered to the machine, and I have added the dll to my project. I can also navigate all the options by typing 'encoder.'.

Any ideas?

(Code below)

Imports System.data

Imports PDF417FontEncoderAxLib

Partial Class _Default

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim Encoder As New PDF417FontEncoderAxLib.PDFFontEncoder

Dim Output As String

Dim lsMessage As String

lsMessage = "This is a test"

Output = ""

Try

Catch ex As Exception

End Try

If Output <> "" Then

End If

End Sub

End Class

Thanks.

Scot.

Quick update:

Using your test example in the PDF document I can re-create this in a webpage and this works fine

Dim encoder

Dim output

Dim message

message = "hi"

set encoder = CreateObject("Morovia.PDF417FontEncoder")

output = encoder.Encode(message)

document.write (output)

So the problem seems to be with .NET?

I have tried the code in VS2003. No problem at all.

Is your web server located in the same machine that you are working on? If the web server is in a different machine you also need to install the software on that machine.
