Trouble with C# and FAXCOMEXLib: Fax Service Extended COM API (faxcomex.dll)

Hello all,

I am having trouble retreiving the Fax Status using C#...

Also I can only seem to set FAXCOMEXLib.FAX_SERVER_EVENTS_TYPE_ENUM one at a time...

I can see at run-time that I am Registering the FAXCOMEXLib.FAX_SERVER_EVENTS_TYPE_ENUM.fsetFXSSVC_ENDED Event

or which ever SINGLE FAXCOMEXLib.FAX_SERVER_EVENTS_TYPE_ENUM enum I use...

And my fax works just fine with this code, but does not appear to be correctly raising the FaxJobStatus events no matter which enum I use...

Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance.

Hi DavidLv


You must register your COM dll with "regsvr32" dll on your W2K and it would be fine (just type : regsvr32 "C:\xxx\xxx\mydll.dll")

=========================================================

About me, i have a trouble with the FAXCOMEXLib. Actually I am no able to send any document on local or distant server.

If i use the standard FAXCOMLib it works fine on local server, but not on the remote server.

I have installed the fax service on both.

When I connect to the server I use : @\\MyServer

I always get: Connection to server failed.

I have no FireWall.

Here is my FAXCOMEXLib C# code:


LOCAL:


FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServerClass fsc = new FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServerClass();



fsc.Connect("") ;

FAXCOMEXLib.FaxDocumentClass fd = new FAXCOMEXLib.FaxDocumentClass() ;

fd.DocumentName = "test" ;

fd.Recipients.Add("005455964454","MyName") ;

fd.Sender.Name = "Me" ;

fd.Sender.FaxNumber = "00545556123" ;

fd.Body = @"C:\temp\test.doc" ;

//fd.ConnectedSubmit(fsc) ;

fd.Submit("") ;






SERVER:


FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServerClass fsc = new FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServerClass();



fsc.Connect(@"\\192.168.0.3") ;

FAXCOMEXLib.FaxDocumentClass fd = new FAXCOMEXLib.FaxDocumentClass() ;

fd.DocumentName = "test" ;

fd.Recipients.Add("005455964454","MyName") ;

fd.Sender.Name = "Me" ;

fd.Sender.FaxNumber = "00545556123" ;

fd.Body = @"C:\temp\test.doc" ;

//fd.ConnectedSubmit(fsc) ;

fd.Submit(@"\\192.168.0.3") ;



Can you help me please?

What is more important to me is to make out with the server...
