webwiz/3886/ABBPCSDK_test.rarHello

I am new to using PC SDK and have a slight issue someone might be able to explain to me.

I have been given a program that works perfectly on microsoft xp using visual studio 2008.

I have windows 7 x64 and visual studio 2008.

What happens is when the program runs it comes up with
"
Warning 1 ‘ABB.Robotics.Controllers.Discovery.NetworkWatcherEventHandler’ is obsolete. C:UsersDanielDocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsWindowsApplication2WindowsApplication2Form1.vb 76 23 WindowsApplication2

"
and wont run any part of for “Private Sub Form1_Load”

ill upload the program, anyone know what the problem is and how to fix this.
i am desperate to fix this asap

Hello,
I think you need to change your target platform from “Any CPU” to x86.

Kind regards

Hehe, been there done that. Your welcome!

Oh, might aswell tell you since your using a 64-bit OS. There are some other problems within the ABB libraries. Some libraries can not handle file paths with brackets. so “C:Program Files (x86)” can be a bad idea.
I think this issue will be fixed in the next release thoguh!

Kind regards

If you end up compiling to .NET 4.0 at some point in time, then you will also run into problems, some are described in this fine forum.

I have ended up using pure 3.5 code until the abb libraries are 4.0 safe.
