GDTwain2s & 64-Bit Win 7 & VS2008

Post by JmunsonII » Fri Jan 22, 2010 5:06 pm

Namaste!

I am trying to move my dev environment from a previous XP Pro setup to a Win7 64-bit environment. I'm using VS 2008.

When I move my my project over (after having installed the GDTwain files), my project shows, in the references, GDTwain 2 - TWAIN ActiveX (Safe)...<the system cannot find the reference specified>

I tried copying the objsafe.tlb to the System32 directory, however, that did not resolve the issue.

My project targets 32-bit systems.

In a 64-bit environment, what is the proper way to add the GDTwain 2 Active X control?

Thanks!

Peace, Love, and Light!!!

Also, removing and re-adding the reference did not solve the issue.

Hi,

You should not use the safe edition for winforms application. The safe edition is provided for web apps development purpose.

For your issue check:

- You correctly registred the ActiveX
- Your application is targeted for 32 bit processor
- Remove bin & obj folder of your project.

Then, adding a reference to the registered GdTwain toolkit should be OK.

With best regards,

Loïc

Namaste!

Thank you for your answer.

What is the non-safe equivalent of AxGdTwain2S.AxTwain?

Thanks!

Hi,

You should have 2 OCX:

Gdtwain2.ocx & Gdtwain2S.ocx

So the equivalent is gdtwain2.ocx which should be wrapped by a file such as: AxGdTwain2.AxTwain?

Let me know if I am not clear enough.

Please, Love & Light too :)
