Building the .NET Examples from MS Visual Studio

The ActiveSpaces installation provides a Visual Studio solutions file for building the .NET examples.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the AS_HOME environment variable has been set to the TIBCO ActiveSpaces installation directory.

    For example:

    set AS_HOME=<TIBCO_HOME>\as\2.0
  2. Ensure that AS_HOME/lib/TIBCO.ActiveSpaces.Common.dll has been installed into your Global Assembly Cache.

Note: This should have automatically been done during installation, but you can verify it using the following command:

gacutil -l TIBCO.ActiveSpaces.Common

  1. If TIBCO.ActiveSpaces.Common.dll is not present in your GAC, do the following:
    cd AS_HOME/lib
    gacutil -i TIBCO.ActiveSpaces.Common.dll
  2. Invoke the Microsoft Visual Studio solutions file for the TIBCO ActiveSpaces .NET examples:
    cd AS_HOME/examples/dotnet
    Examples.sln
  3. In Visual Studio, right click on Solution Examples and select Build Solution.
    Note: To build the .NET examples for 32-bit when installed on a 64-bit platform, set the Platform Target to x86 in the Build properties for the project.
