I recently upgraded my PC (64bit Win 7 Enterprise) with Visual Studio Professional 2017. I have Monarch V13 64bit with the programming license. When I write a program in vb.net and attempt to add reference to the Monarch com object its not there. When I create a simple program to create the Monarch object a vb form window pops up and the software hangs. I tend to call Monarch with the same parameters alot so I wanted to make a class library DLL that executes the Monarch routines. Then I could use this DLL in several of my programs but I have had no luck after almost a month of development.
So I have two questions. Why doesn't monarch show up as a reference to add in my vb project reference?
Is it possible to make a DLL and call the Monarch routines and stick it in a class library for future use.
Actually I have lots of questions but those are the main two. If I have Monarch 64 why do we create object Monarch32? Shouldn't it be Monarch64? Should I build the project for x86 and not a 64 bit ?
