EA Addin not displaying
« on: May 01, 2008, 11:41:41 pm »
I am creating an EA addin for DOORS. I have downloaded the code from EA example for Addin using C# .net 1.1.

I am doing everything as per the instruvtions in EA help. After creating the Addin when I open EA it shows that Addin Enable under manage addins but addin icons are not displayed.

I have also tried regsitering the adding dll using regsvr and regasm but I am getting the same thing. Addin is not displaying under Addin menu. What the problem is?

Please help me.

Hi Zaya,

While I do not have an answer for you - sorry about that - I can tell you that there is an ongoing discussion about just this problem. In fact, you seem to have the same environment as at least two other users: C# and .Net 1.1. The problems seem to stem from some inability of EA to 'see' the add-in after registration.

Is it possible for you to compile the add-in against .Net 2.0? Of if not, can you remove the reference to the Interop assembly provided with EA and just reference the EA type library under the COM listing? Perhaps this will help.

If not...

I strongly suggest that you search the forum for the threads where this is being discussed. There are several threads - one of the posters started similar (not identical) threads in several forum sections; please don't do this yourself - so you need to be diligent.

These other forum threads will give you an idea of what's happened elsewhere, what has been tried and what resulted, and perhaps a solution for your configuration.

As well, submit a bug report directly to Sparx. If possible include your add-in. Sparx should be able to let you know where they are on this issue.

If you hear back from Sparx please post the details back to this thread, so the rest of us can stay informed.

HTH, David
No, you can't have it!

David!

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I were trying using my addin code on  .Net 2.0 but the issue is that the same addin (developed usind .net 1.1) is displaying on another system. Even I tried on 4 systems. It was displaying on 2 systems and not on 2 systems.

This is very strange issue. Even I used the same EA 7.1 setup file to install on all the systems.

I read many threads on the forum. Some of them are having the same problem as me with the addin on EA 7.1 . I tried all the suggestions mentioned in the forum but none of them is working.

I am surprised how the same addin is displaying on some systems and not on some systems. Can you please write me in detail?

I will be very thankful to u.

Thanks
Zaya
