DssEnvironment

[Bijens@discussions.microsoft.com Nick Bijens]

Hi,
I use DssEnvironment in a simple Windows Forms application. I call the
Initialize method from inside the form constructor.

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DssEnvironment.Initialize(50000, 50001,@"C:\Microsoft Robotics
Studio (1.0)\samples\Config\ELog.manifest.xml");
}

The service seems to start but the form does not appear. What am I doing
wrong?

Thx,

Hi,

there is currently an issue with the way DSS figures where it runs so that
it can load services. However, there is a simple workaround. Copy your
program to the bin directory of the MSRS installation (i.e. c:\Microsoft
Robotics Studio (1.0)\bin) and run it from there.

We are working on a fix for this issue.

Thanks,

Andreas

Thanks Andreas! This indeed works. Notice that I also had to copy my service
proxy dll to the bin directory. Now, my service gets started whenever the
form appears.

One easy alternative fix in Robotics Studio 1.5 is to add a reference to the
DSSRuntime.Transform.dll that is found in the c:\Microsoft Robotics Studio
(1.5)\bin directory.
