Import self-created .NET controls or third-party libraries

If your custom control or library's binaries are in the same folder, or the library is installed in the Global Assembly Cache, you can import them in the .NET Control dialog box in
FactoryTalk View Studio
. After the import, the selected binaries are automatically copied to the target folder C:\Users\Public\Documents\RSView Enterprise\DotNetControl Setup.
To import self-created .NET controls or third-party libraries
  1. Open
    FactoryTalk View Studio
    .
  2. Open a display and draw a .NET Control.
  3. In the
    .NET Control
    dialog box, click
    Browse
    .
  4. Select the DLL files of the self-created .NET controls or third-party libraries.
    TIP:
    • You can select multiple files at one time.
    • Network paths are not supported.
    • Loading multiple versions of an assembly is not supported. For more information, see Microsoft article Avoid Loading Multiple Versions of an Assembly into the Same Context. If you want to load a new version of custom assemblies, you must remove the existing version in Public\Documents\RSView Enterprise\DotNetControl Setup. However, you cannot load a new version of FactoryTalk View's built-in assemblies; you should use them as provided.
