Dll requires plugin version?

Hi
I have a dll which is an extension (using COM) to ESRI ArcMap, it does not expose any of the API to ArcMap it just takes information from it and displays the results.

The user has access to modifing the axes via the Chart Editor, does this require the plugin version to use this functionallity?

I get a license error when the chart is displayed, despite the .licx file being present in the project.

Version: 3.5.3371.26405

Hi Robie,

Here you'll find complete information on how the plugin license works. Having said that, if your application loads the assembly using Assembly.Load then the plugin license model will work fine for you. Otherwise, you'll need to build your application including licenses.licx information. Depending on the nature to enable reusable designtime acces of your application Steema could also provide and unlocked TeeChart assembly.

Hi NarcĂ­s

I had read this when searching the forums and did not fully uderstand it, I'm working in VB .net. After reading it a few times I figured what was going on and realise that what I was doing does not require plugin model.
I did put in the bit on the form New() to create a temp TChart object.

'discardable Chart forces License check
Dim tc As Steema.TeeChart.TChart = New Steema.TeeChart.TChart
tc = Nothing

This seems to have fixed the license error.

Many Thanks
