See IKVM-generated DLLs from ASP

[David Wallace-6]

Hi all,

I have been asked to do some work on a Classic ASP (not .NET) site.  I want to use FOP 0.95, and have been through the steps of using ikvmc to convert it to DLLs.  However, when I try to run regsvr32 on the DLLs, so that IIS can see them, I get the message about the DllRegisterServer entry point not being found.  

 

How can I make the IKVM-generated DLLs visible to the ASP pages?  Also, is it safe to ignore all the "class not found" warnings that ikvmc produces?

 

Thanks,
David Wallace.

This is not really an IKVM question. You cannot use regsvr32 with a .NET assembly, it only works for native COM libraries. There are ways to use .NET components via interop COM from classic ASP, but that's really outside the scope of this list.

That depends. They simply mean that the code you are compiling references some other code that you are not compiling and have not referenced. If that code is only used by codepaths that aren't used, then everything is fine, if they are used, you'll get a NoClassDefFoundError at runtime.
