[mapserver-users] MapServer and .NET?

[Hulbert, Brian]

I don't have experience yet with the latest release.maybe there is another
DLL dependency that wasn't present in my 5.0.2 release.  Can you easily put
the 5.0.2 DLLs in your application directory and update the project DLL
reference accordingly and give it a try?

I have tried reference the file in my ms4w install directory, so:

C:\Program Files\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\mapscript\csharp

 

This was actually the first thing I tried but it have me the same error for
the first time so I experimented with hunting all dll's and copying them in
the application folder per recommendations but this caused me to receive the
same error.

Nelson,

                I avoided recompiling any DLLs.  I used what was provided.

 

                Is your VS project referencing the mapscript DLL in your
Debug/Release folder or is it referencing the one in your C:\Program
Files\MS4W folder?  Since I have a C# app, I have a VS project reference to
just the mapscript_csharp.dll file in a common 3rd party DLLs folder under
my source code project.  When this loads, it will attempt to load the other
dependent DLLs.  Try that approach with your C# app to see if you can narrow
the problem.

Thank you sir. Indeed you had a couple more dll's than I but still after
moving more over I receive the same error. I am trying to run a vb.net
<http://vb.net/>  project but I also have a c# one that produces the same
error. The tutorial says I can use the mapscript.dll and
mapscript_csharp.dll that is in ms4w. Did you find that to be true or had
you compiled your own?

 

Also, I think it's worth noting: I used the newest version of MS4W that
seems only weeks old... It now has a nice installer that allows you to
specify the installation path where previously it demanded to be installed
in the root ex: C:\ms4w or D:\ms4w... Since I was able to choose, I chose
C:\program files\ms4w.

 

Would this be an issue do you think?

I can't speak specifically to ASP.NET <http://asp.net/>  but for C#, I place
all of the MapScript-related DLLs in the same directory as my C# application
executable.  Below are the files that I have in my Debug or Release folder
for MapServer 5.0.2

cfitsio.dll
gdal15.dll
geos_c.dll
geotiff.dll
hdf5dll.dll

 Hi Guys,

 I am following the tutorial on
http://www.paolocorti.net/2006/09/20/mapserver-tutorial-for-c-mapscript-asp-
net/ regarding getting started with MapServer on .Net. I eventually hit a
snag where I run into error "The type initializer for
'OSGeo.MapServer.mapscriptPINVOKE' threw an exception" when trying to run
the demo application. I have tried several demo projects in Visual Studio
and I receive the same errors. Running down the stack, this seems to be the
general exception:

  {"Unable to load DLL 'mapscript': The specified module could not be found.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)"}

 This happens even with projects that are coming with there own
mapserver.dll and all other necessary filesinthe bin folder. Does anyone
have any experience with dealing with MapServer on .Net and can anyone help
me or point me in the right direction. Right now I guess I am looking at
downloading Dependancy Walker to try to see if I can get further into this
exception, but I just want to know if anyone else has ever run into this
before.

 Thanks,

Nelson Soto
