DMKCCD V1.3 Ascom DRIVER lauch

[uranos]

Hi All,
I'm developping an application (Win XP SP3, VB express 2008, Ascom 5.5, DMK driver operationnal with Prism or MaximDL) [the bug is for me!!!].

I fire the ascom driver with:
wcam = New ASCOM.DriverAccess.Camera(wcamprogID)
Catch ex As Exception
[...]
End Try
If wcam.camerastate = 0 Then
wcam.SetupDialog()
End If
wcam.connected=true

Thats work with the simmulator, but with DMKCCD, I get following exception at the connect time....
Any Idea for structuring the launch?

Hello,

It seems, you try create the IC Imaging Control object dynamically. In this case the Microsoft License compiler wont create the license. (There are many other threads like this in the programming forums.)

However, you can pass your license key to the constructor:

TIS.Imaging.ICImagingControl ic = new TIS.Imaging.ICImagingControl("Insert license key here!");

This should fix your problem.

Thanks for this answer Stephan.

But, I have no licence number! I'm just trying to make an application that will use the ascom DMKCCD driver. Is it required in this case?
Should I Use a dummy one?

Hi Jean,

i am wondering about that error message, too. Because i developed
the driver at least under windows xp sp3 with Ascom 5.5.

The setup routine works with maxim dl, hmm.

I will have a look at you code and have to test it...

kind regards,
gerrit

Thanks Gerrit,
