Body
<p>Been trying off and on for days now and can't figure this out. I have written a C# class file for an Intranet app to control the local serial ports. It works great when I manually register the dll using regasm, however, I need to deploy this control from a web page without having to manually register it. I tried creating a Setup Project in Visual Studio 2010, it compiled fine yet I can not open the object in a webpage.</p> <p>Here are the pertinent lines of code from my C# class:</p> <pre><code>namespace wmsSerialPorts { [Guid("55D31498-12A5-4FF0-942D-3B0BA449CA7B")] [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)] [ComVisible(true)] public interface iAxDevices { [DispId(1)] int OpenPort(string sComPort); [DispId(2)] int ClosePort(); [DispId(3)] int SendCmd(string sCmd); [DispId(4)] string GetLastError(); //[DispId(5)] //string ReadLine(); [DispId(6)] string ReadWeight(); [DispId(7)] Microsoft.JScript.ArrayObject GetJsPorts(); [DispId(8)] void prtLabel(string sItemNum, string sQty, string sDesc, string sWoNum, string sBoxID, string sBoxIDBarCode, string sBoxIDorig); [DispId(9)] void prtLabelQC(string sItemNum, string sQty, string sDesc, string sWoNum, string sBoxID, string sBoxIDBarCode, string sBoxIDorig, string sNeedDate, string sRecOverride); [DispId(10)] void prtReset(); } [Guid("E59C5B7E-EF1F-4241-A9FD-191EF8FCC167")] [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] [ComVisible(true)] [ProgId("AxDevices")] public class AXDevices : wmsSerialPorts.SerialCom, iAxDevices, wmsSerialPorts.IObjectSafety </code></pre> <p>As I mentioned, if I use regasm wmsSerialPorts.dll, the object works great when called from JavaScript like this:</p> <pre><code>myAx = new ActiveXObject("AXDevices"); </code></pre> <p>My Setup project contains a wmsSerialPorts.inf file:</p> <pre><code>[version] signature="$CHICAGO$" AdvancedINF=2.0 [Setup Hooks] install=install [install] run=msiexec.exe /package """%EXTRACT_DIR%\ActiveXSetup.msi""" /qn </code></pre> <p>.... and an ActiveXBuild.ddf file:</p> <pre><code>.Set DiskDirectoryTemplate=cab .Set CabinetNameTemplate=ActiveXSetup.cab Debug\ActiveXSetup.msi wmsSerialPorts.inf </code></pre> <p>My wmsSerialPorts.dll file is properly referenced as a detached asseembly and building the Setup Project created the ActiveXSetup.cab and ActiveXSetup.msi files as expected.</p> <p>I then created this HTML page to load the object:</p> <pre><code><!DOCTYPE> <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body>  <object id="AXDevices" classid="clsid:E59C5B7E-EF1F-4241-A9FD-191EF8FCC167" codebase="ActiveXSetup.cab"> </object> <script type="text/javascript"> try { var obj = document.AXDevices; if (obj) { alert(obj.SayHello()); } else { alert("Object is not created!"); } } catch (ex) { alert("Error message is: " + ex.Description); } </script> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>... but when I run the page, it generates an error of "undefined" (from the catch(ex) block). Any ideas? Thanks in advance ....... Bob</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
