is LAPI 9.7.1 supported with .NET Framework 2.0? 1

[leirehernandez]

Hello everyone,

We are working with Livelink 9.7.1 for CEDEFOP. We are integrating a .NET(.aspx pages) application in Livelink and We need to use the LAPI. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Microsoft.NET framework 2.0) to build my project(Web Site).

Can we use the LAPI 9.7.1 with .NET Framework 2.0? Are they supported versions?

I am adding to LAPI_NETp.dll reference in my project but when I compile the project this error appears:
“The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)”
I have included LAPI_BASE.dll and LLKERNEL.dll in the PATH environment variable too.

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

The right libraries to use in a lapi with C# or VB.NET is vjslib,lapi_netp and lapi_sspip (if you need to do SSO stuff)

The windows PATH variable should have

C:\Program Files\Open Text\LAPI\; or wherever you installed LAPI clinet files.

lapi_base.dll is never added as a refrence when you do lapi.

Suggest you look at environment preparation when you program with lapi in a .net environment

Also see if the livelink server in qn supports webservices.LAPI is going out of favor with OT but the only server that allows you to call enterprise webservices is
LES 9.7.1

You can use new lapi client libraries against old livelink installs to a good extent.

Hello appnair,

I have LES 9.7.1 so the problem could be other.
I've added the two references that you write and the enviroment preparation is OK as you write me.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help.

If you think of something new that could be happen, don't hesitate to tell me.

Thank you very much,

Leire

It is again unclear from your posting if your problem is solved are you able to connect successfully from your computer(aspx) to livelink or not ?Are you still having connectivity problems?

I just ran a test program in my computer with .NET and C# and it worked flawlessly for me.

Hello appnair
My problem is not solved because I still have te same problem. I have everything like you tell me but when I include the reference LAPI_NETp.dll in my project and I compile this error appears:
"The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)"

Thank you very much for your time,

Leire

Are you willing to do a small console program to test this and see if it has anything with the compiler problem.
I have attached the code here.Change the pertinent info.
I ran this code just before posting this on .net2 and lapi 9.7.1
