RecentlyI've been experimenting with the Microsoft WindowsImage Acquisition Library (WIA), a COM library that thereforerequires the use of interop in .NET. In the course of testingsome of the different features of this library I triggered acompile error I haven't come across for a long time. As it isn'toften I work with COM interop I thought I'd write a quick postdetailing how to resolve or work around the compile errors tomore firmly cement it in my head for the next time.

In older versions of .NET (or Visual Studio), when youreferenced a COM library an interop DLL was generated - youcould always tell these from their filenames as they would startwith Interop.. I also seem to remember that back in the daysof .NET 1.1 I would manually run a utility program to generatethe interop DLL's, to avoid some form of naming prefix.


More recent versions of Visual Studio still do this, but willalso try and avoid having to include the interop DLL bypackaging up all the interfaces and embedding them directly inyour application, just like any other class you'd written.


The easiest way of resolve this is to disable embedding theinterop library. To do this, expand the References node inthe Solution Explorer and select the COM reference youadded. In the Properties window, set the value of theEmbed Interop Types property to false.


As a seasoned developer, you know fine well that you can'tcreate a new instance of an interface, you have to create aninstance of the class which implements it. So naturally youmight write code similar to


Unfortunately, this will give you two different compile errors,once for each CommonDialogClass. The secret is to use thenon-I prefixed interface, e.g. CommonDialog (if you try touse ICommonDialog you'll get normal compile error you wouldtrying to new up any other interface.). Even though this iscompletely against the rules as you might know them, this isvalid code - it is just part of the magic done under the scenesto allow managed access to COM objects.


There is one caveat and that is constants. Some COM librariesmight define global constants and while the interop library willinclude these constants, they are placed inside classes and soif you try to access them you'll get the same compile error.


There's no easy workaround this time as far as I know - you needto copy the constant values into your own code. An easy way isjust to type the class name in your code editor and pressF12. Visual Studio will then open the meta data forthe interop class which will show the constants and their values- you can then just copy and paste these into your ownapplication.

The file zkemkeeper.dll is a 32bit Windows DLL module for ZKEMFX or other related programs. The file and the associated ZKEMFX software was developed by ZKSoftware Inc.. The file was licensed as (C) ZKSoftware Inc. All right reserved..


zkemkeeper.dll file is a critical component for the software to work properly without any problems. You may receive an error message like the ones below that indicates the file is not found or damaged.


To fix the error, you need to copy the missing zkemkeeper.dll file to your system or replace the corrupted dll file with a working one by following the instructions below. There are 2 different versions of the dll file available for download with sizes between 276KB - 1.39MB.


You can download zkemkeeper.dll for free from the download section on this page. After downloading the zip file, unzip it to a convenient location on your computer. In order to fix dll related errors, you need to copy the .dll file to the installation folder of the application/game, or install .dll file directly to Windows (Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 10).


Well, it is by design. dotnet build is meant to be cross platform, but COM is not a cross platform technology.You can still use msbuild.exe or VS to build the app. Is important to remember this specially for continuous integration builds.


To do these tests I will use the MSFlexGrid 32-bit ActiveX Control. This control was part of VB6 and we usually work with it when modernizing VB6 apps. So if you are planning on modernizing your VB6 app to .NET Core this might be interesting for you.


It is important to notice that the version of Windows Forms in .NET Core has some subtle differences: Specially with fonts. The default font in .NET Framework is Sans Serif while in .NET Core is Segou UI 9pt.


This difference is very important. For example you might notice that the designer looks crazily big if you open the form from the .NET Framework or from .NET Core. One important thing that I would recommend is to be careful with the AutoScaling.


Well this post got a little long, but I wanted to show that COM can be used from .NET Core apps. The tooling is improving each day but at least today you will have to do a couple of hacks in order to be able to use it in certain scenarios


My job profile has not been restricted to particular. Based on the requirement of the management I need to complete the task. So, whenever I get a new task to be completed if I get any errors or something totally new for me I take help from all the EXPERTS from this blog. Really, a lot of time, I get a lot of support and suggestion to resolve the issues.

I am working on Windows 7

I am working with Idef Bio-Metric Device. which i working on a network IP address.

At present we have a VB6 Application which reads the data.But wanted to develop in Vb.Net (VB).


I did not learn programming by going to college or any institution I learned on tutorials or website on-line take sample and practice it. I am zero in posting the questions. So, please kindly forgive me.


As I say I really do not think it is people seeking help that are at fault, I think it is a case of they have not been taught how to ask questions and perhaps some of that may be that they have not tried to help someone thousands of kilometers away.


Not even close to enough information provided here. Is it registered, what version of windows, what method(s) are you trying to use to communicate with the device, what is the device (make and model etc)?

Please keep in mind none of us have this gadget and none of us are in the room with you looking over your shoulder at your computer. You have to tell us everything.


It could be called something else too, but I am talking about the files property that you get to see when you right click any file in Windows, go to properties, and then to the Details view, like this:


From what I can discern, what you're asking about is a bit of a mixed bag. An executable's (EXE, DLL, etc) "resources" including FileVersion, ProductName, etc. can be edited with Resource Hacker. See the "Version Info" field, although in recent versions only if it has not been compressed with an EXE compressor like UPX or mpress. Many of these fields show up in the details provided by Explorer. Many other fields (such as name, timestamps, etc.) are NTFS metadata or extended attributes. FileAlyzer can view these, but can't edit them. Various programs can edit some of these programmatically, but I'm not familiar with a single program that can edit ALL NTFS metadata/attributes. As an example, AutoHotkey can be used to edit modification time, creation time, and last access time. To further complicate things, many file formats, especially multi-media files like WAV, MP3, MPEG, etc. can have metadata embedded in to the file format which Explorer can directly display (either in the main window when set to Details or under a file's Properties as you have shown). These can include Artist, Title, Album, etc. And to make matters even harder, Explorer can display attributes read directly from some file format's internal structure, such as an image's dimension. MediaInfo is a fantastic tool for displaying (but not editing) this type of information.


Uuh, yeah, I found the Resource Hacker before but I didn't try it, but now that I have, it's exactly what I was looking for. I tried a few others, but they lead me to no where, so I came here to ask, before throwing in the towel... so thank you.


I'm working on moving our custom build logic from VSTS build tasks into a directory.build.targets file. In the test project I have a single project inside a solution. Without my .targets file the project is built once. But when I add my target the project seems to get built 3 times. Only my custom target elements are running again so it seems like I'm missing something. I suspect it has something to do with the before, depends and after target properties but I don't see what.


Error MSB3644 The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2" were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed. Note that assemblies will be resolved from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and will be used in place of reference assemblies. Therefore your assembly may not be correctly targeted for the framework you intend.


I'm looking for an offline installer for the MSBuild Tools 2019.

Earlier we used the offline installer for MSBuild Tools 2015, but it seems that for 2019 it isn't available for downloading anymore.

Since we have computers, were we do not have connection to internet to use the online installer, we would need an offline setup.exe.
