Full Version: How to add SkypeAPI/Actives reference in VB.NET

Hello all,

I'm trying to write a small app to integrate Skype with my HTPC. So I downloaded and installed ActiveS and the source code examples, and I can connect to Skype OK with vbs examples, get contacts and all, but I'd prefer to do it from VB.NET, and I have no idea how to reference the API/Wrapper from it. And I need to do it in source code (as opposed through Toolbox window >Components).

Is this possible? I suppose I need something like line:

Imports System.IO

but when I do

Imports SKYPEAPILib.Access

and then
Private WithEvents objSkype As SKYPEAPILib.Access

i get error saying SKYPEAPILib.Access is not defined.

If I'm not mistaken, it's VB.NET equivalent of vbs

Set objSkype = WScript.CreateObject("SKYPEAPI.Access", "objSkype_")

but I have no idea how to do it...

would any kind soul... :-)

Thanx a bunch!

ActiveS is a COM Wrapper dll. Go to Add Reference and select the tab COM and select the "ActiveS 1.0 Type Library" and start using in your code.
Now start with your own code to create the Access Class and connect the skype.
