2. To compile your project, select File > Make MyDemo.dll.
You will be prompted for a directory to save the DLL to. As far
as the Configuration Console is concerned, it does not matter
where the DLL resides on the machine, so pick the directory of
your choice.
Once you have saved and compiled your project for the first time,
you should change the Version Compatibility of the project as
follows:
1. Select Project > MyDemo Properties. The MyDemo-Project
Properties dialog box is displayed.
2. Select the Component tab and change the Version
Compatibility selection to Binary Compatibility.
3. Save and recompile your project.
If you use No Compatibility or Project Compatibility and register
the custom analysis tool in the Configuration Console and then
recompile the custom analysis tool in Visual Basic, you will have to
re-register the analysis tool in the Configuration Console.
Register your MyDemo custom analysis tool DLL as you did with
the sample VbFlat analysis tool (as described in "Registering a
Sample Analysis Tool (page 127)"). Once the analysis tool is
registered, you can use the MyDemo.NegativeCalculator analysis
tool with the FactoryTalk Historian Classic Demo - Pressure data
point.
NOTE
If your database does not have this data point, you have not installed the
FactoryTalk Historian Classic sample data. To do this, run the DB Load
Wizard from the Start menu by selecting Programs > Rockwell
Software > FactoryTalk Tools > Database Wizard. Follow the
directions in the help to install the FactoryTalk Historian Classic sample
data into the database you are using.
