development environment for DBLog.dll

[PeggyC]

I want to modify DBLog.dll, but I am not sure what is the development environment for DBLog.dll?  How do I know which development tool to use?  And, is version dependent?

Thanks.

Hi Peggy,

This dll is written in C++, so you can use any C++ compatible development environment such as visual studio. As far as the version, if you are refering to the version of TestStand, make sure to modify the version of the file in the desired version of TestStand.  In terms of the IDE, the version should not be an issue.

I downloaded Visual C++ 2008 Express version.  When I compiled the project, I have the following error:

"1>c:\program files\national instruments\teststand 4.2\components\models\teststandmodels\database\dblog\stdafx.h(20) :

    fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'afxwin.h': No such file or directory"

Is this expected?

To avoid this error, You need to add "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include\mfc\" to your INCLUDE path. The libraries are in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\lib\"
