As was mentioned in response to your other post under your other profile name a mere one day ago:

So-called Visual Basic 2008 is not Visual Basic, which finished at Version 6 regardless of what Microsoft claims.

See the FAQ thread heading "Location of API Libraries, .Net vs C/VB and Other Issues" for a link to a useful treatise on the subject by Mike Cowie.

I see your previous post TM1.doc attachment. let me try to answer.

You are using visual studio express edition for visual basic 2008 version.

There are two ways to connect to TM1 or getting objects in TM1:
1. using the Applix.TM1.API under the TM1Web directory or
2. using the tm1api.dll in the program files directory

to use the first method simply add reference (just like you did) located in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TM1Web\bin.
to use the second method you need to add the TM1 installation directory to Windows System Environment variables
My computer > properties > advanced > environment variables
add to Path C:\Program Files\Applix\TM1\bin

i don't know in vb but here an example i do it in C# language just add TM1 function in the tm1api.dll

Code: Select all

[DllImport("tm1api.dll")]
public static extern int TM1ServerProcesses();
[code][DllImport("tm1api.dll")]
public static extern int TM1ObjectListHandleByIndexGet(int hPool, int hObject, int iPropertyList, int iIndex);

then call the function

happy coding
