Using Broker ActiveX Control with Visual Studio .NET

To use Broker ActiveX Control with Visual Studio .NET

1. Add Broker ActiveX Control to the Project references.

2. Add a Broker Control variable BrokerLib.BrokerClass().

While you are using Broker ActiveX Control, the properties and methods of the object are listed in the member list.

Using Custom Data Types

Important:
To use custom data types you have to access the items through a temporary object.

A Small Visual Basic .NET Example

' create new ActiveX Control
Dim broker As New BrokerLib.BrokerClass()

Dim TransactionObject As Object
Dim SomeObject As Object
Dim CTObject As Object

' load tor object
TransactionObject = broker.CreateTransObject("Broker.tor")

' call a method from the tor object 
SomeObject = TransactionObject.GetData("Person1")

' 
reference a temporary object to the Customer Data type


CTObject = SomeObject.CustData

' access to the items of the Customer Data
Console.WriteLine("Name  :" & CTObject.Name)  
Console.WriteLine("Address :" & CTObject.Address)
