Title: Open EA from doors gives error
Post by: vibhugupta on April 30, 2008, 10:48:47 pm

I am developing a small EA DOORS integration project. I am able to export an EA model to DOORS. When I am trying to open  EA exported model from DOORS it gives error and EA closes down.

I am trying C# following code:

try
{
app = (EA.App) System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("EA.App");
                        de=(EA.RepositoryClass) app.Repository;
                        de.OpenFile(fName);
                        return;
                  }

please help me.

What is the "it" you refer to, and what is the error?

That code appears to be trying to get an already open EA application.  If you don't have one it would fail when accessing app.Repository, so either try adding a null check.

I see this is not DXL code - what version of DOORS are you using?
If the code is not on the DOORS side - are you seting this up as an EA-addin?  If so the Repository is already set if you are using the standard ADD-In code i.e. see EA_GetMenuItems(EA.Repository Repository, ...)
