Using Marvin bean in ActiveX container

Hi,





I am interested to learn more about the statment in your recent news:





"Marvin 4.1 released. .NET support,"





Does this mean I can take the Marvin 4.1 Bean and treat as follows in order to use/import as a VS dll?





http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/


docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html





Or perhaps you already generate the dll?


Is there any documentation ChemAxon provide on how to use Marvin Bean in ActiveX container context?





Cheers,


Daniel.

You can import into VS the support dlls which can be downloaded here: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/do-download-marvinbeans.html#dotnet





Note, that the graphical components will not appear on VS's component palette.

The current .NET support Marvin uses a different technology: JNBridge. It has nothing to do with ActiveX Bridge. Please, read the related documentation at http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/doc/dev/dotnet.html

The .NET example in examples/ChemAxon.NET contains a flawed init.bat file. Please, replace it with the file I attached.

Boomshanka!

I have a few questions during set up...As usual thanks for any help...





1. regarding env var JNBRIDGE_BIN_DIR - no bin dir in the JNBridge runtime...does this refer to VS/sdk/v2.0/bin?





2. regarding env var MARVIN_JNB_PROXY_LIB_PATH - presumably wherever the marvin dll exist (root of the web app solution OK?)





3. Build.bat errors looking for csc.exe...I see this is in c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2\csc.exe - how can I ensure this is visible to build.bat, another env var?





Cheers,


Daniel.

Hi Daniel,





Normally, you should not worry about those environment variables when setting up the example application.





Which Marvin version do you have. I suggest to get 4.1.1. A few bugs have been fixed in the example application of that version.





Cheers,


Peter

Hi Peter,





I am attempting to set up 4.1.1 I believe...





Well, I think they are being used by build.bat and are not set at any point before...I'll assume for now that my only issue is point 3 below...


Can you comment on point 3 of my questions below? i.e. build.bat cannot see csc.exe...





Cheers,


Daniel.

Hi Daniel,





Executing step 2. in section "Compile the source code into executable" (http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/ChemAxon.NET/GUI/doc/index.html#compile) of the example setup description makes sure that csc.exe is visible in the current Command Prompt window:

Quote:

Open a Command Prompt window and call the sdkvars.bat batch file located in the Bin directory of your .NET SDK installation to set the required environment variables.
