Adding the JiGlue COM Bridge to Visual Basic

If you are developing a COM-based application for Process Engine services with the FileNet Workplace, FileNet Web Services, or FileNet Open Client web application, you will need to use the JiGlue COM Bridge. If you are coding your COM application in Visual Basic, the easiest way to access the JiGlue COM Bridge is to add the JiGlue.dll file to your Visual Basic project as a reference.

Use the following procedure to add JiGlue to your project:

  1. From within the Visual Basic project window, select the Project > References.
  2. From the References dialog box, click Browse.
  3. Navigate to the directory containing the jiglue.dll file.
  4. Select jiglue.dll. Click Open.
  5. In the References dialog box, scroll down the Available References list, and check the box next to JiGlue.

Your Visual Basic application can now access the JiGlue.JiGlueUtil class in the JiGlue library.
