SimConnect C# Compile Error...

[byoung]

Managed Client Event sample
//
// Respond to Flaps up and down (F5, F6, F7 and F8 keys)
// Respond to Pitot switch (Shift-H)

Kind of a NewBee to C#, But I hae done lots of VB programming... I want to use C#

Using VS 2005, I have finally wired up the form correctly.

Here is the base code hat is spawning the error:

>>Error here protected override void DefWndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == WM_USER_SIMCONNECT)
{
if (simconnect != null)
{
simconnect.ReceiveMessage();
}
}
else
{
base.DefWndProc(ref m);
}
}

When I compile the form, I get this error:

I have all the references:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

// Add these two statements to all SimConnect clients
using Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

Here is the error:

Error 2 'FlightSimTest.Main.DefWndProc(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message)': no suitable method found to override


Any ideas?

Thanks

How did you create the project in C#? - was it a console App or a forms App? The reason I ask is that the FlightSimTest.Main looks like Console App and then there is no forms defwnd proc.

Got all the namespaces all the same?

Just a SWAG - could be wrong - I'm no C# expert

SimConnect C# Issue

Thanks Ron,

I was able to get it to compile by adding the windows forms system controls,

But now I am getting the .exe
does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point FlightSimTest

namespace FlightSimTest
{
public static class Main {


public partial class Form1 : Form
{

Again I am kind of new to C# (I have some books I am reading as well), but have done quite abit of programming. Once I get a working model / template to work with I will be on my way!

Thanks!

Barry

Barry,

Look at the program.cs part of the examples. They already have a Main.

/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new Form1());
}

C# SimConnect Issue

Thanks Ron!

OK, a big DAH! I opened the correct project file and it compiled fine... I must have opened the Managed Event .CS file directly. The good thing is that hacking around with it and reading C#, it was a good learning experience. I came close to getting it to work just researching it on my own.

Sorry about that! MY BAD!

Take care and thanks! Hopefully, the next time it will be a more intelligent question, not just getting started

Take care!
