No method in C# but exists in VB?

[Brett]

Sorry for all the post on conversion from VB.NET to C#. Just can't figure
some of these out. getElementsByTagName method is fine in VB but get this
error in C#:

Object does not contain a signature for getElementsByTagName

Intellisense in both langauges is the same.

[VB.NET]
Private WithEvents IE_Inst As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim wbrAll As mshtml.IHTMLElementCollection = _
Me.IE_Inst.Document.("input")

[C#]
private SHDocVw.InternetExplorer IE_Inst = new SHDocVw.InternetExplorer();
this.IE_Inst.Document.getElementsByTagName("input");

What did I miss in C# that VB.NET picked up?

Thanks,
Brett

C# is casse sentitive - Did you mean to use a capital G at the start of the method name?

Tried that but it doesn't work either. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

The method is definitely GetElementsByTagName(string tagName)
What's the exact compiler error message?

If I use capital G, it says object does not contain a definition for ...
Here is the error with lower case G:

C:\myFiles\MailC#\Main\IE.cs(81): 'object' does not contain a definition for
'getElementsByTagName'

The method is definitely GetElementsByTagName(string tagName)

for 'getElementsByTagName'

Sorry looking in the wrong namespace for getElementsByTagName.
'object' does not contain .. means this.IE_Inst.Document returns an Object
type, VB has better support for this late binding stuff (using reflection),
in C# you have to cast the object to the right Interface like this ...


object o = null;
IEDocvw.InternetExplorer ie = new IEDocvw.InternetExplorer();
IWebBrowserApp wb = ie as IWebBrowserApp;
wb.Navigate("http://xxxxx", ref o, ref o, ref o, ref o);
wb.Visible = false;
HTMLDocument wd = (HTMLDocument)wb.Document;
IHTMLElementCollection ic = wd.getElementsByTagName("input");
Console.WriteLine(ic.length);

Thanks. It is working now. Nice.

How about this one:

object novar1;
object novar2;
IE_Inst.ExecWB(SHDocVw.OLECMDID.OLECMDID_PRINT,
SHDocVw.OLECMDEXECOPT.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, novar1, novar2);

I think the problem is on those last two arguments. No matter what I use, I
get this error:

The best overloaded method match for
'SHDocVw.IWebBrowser2.ExecWB(SHDocVw.OLECMDID, SHDocVw.OLECMDEXECOPT, ref
object, ref object)' has some invalid arguments

Any ideas?

Check your error message, you need to pass a reference.
..... ref object, ref object)

Very cool Willy. Error went away. I am still passing in empty objects:
object novar1;
object novar2;

Is there a better way or is this acceptable?

Here's one more that I'm having trouble with. Again, a VB.NET to C#
conversion:
[VB.NET]
Dim UDCPrinter As New UDCWRAPPERLib.Printer
Dim UDCProfile As UDCWRAPPERLib.Profile

UDCPrinter.PrinterName = "Universal Document Converter"
UDCProfile = UDCPrinter.Profile(UDCPrinter.DefaultProfile)

[C#}
UDCWRAPPERLib.Printer UDCPrinter = new UDCWRAPPERLib.Printer();
UDCWRAPPERLib.Profile UDCProfile;

UDCPrinter.PrinterName = "Universal Document Converter";
UDCProfile = UDCPrinter.get_Profile();

Error is on the last line:
No overload for method 'get_Profile' takes '0' arguments

Object browser tree looks like this:
UDCWRAPPERLib
Printer (interface)
IPrinter (interface)

get_Profile(string) is a member of the last node.

I'm using get_Profile because .Profile isn't available in C#. Why does the
above error occur is "string" type is required?

I have tried:
UDCProfile = UDCPrinter.get_Profile(UDCPrinter.DefaultProfile);
and get:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'UDCWRAPPERLib.Profile'

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brett
