Troubles getting channels count using Peak.Can.Basic in C#

[hugues.ostermann]

I have troubles getting the channel count using PCANBasic.GetValue method.
Return is always the following error -> TPCANStatus.PCAN_ERROR_ILLPARAMTYPE.
Sounds like I am not using the method properly.
However, I followed the sample code examples provided in documentation.
Any clue of what goes wrong here ?

Code: Select all

            uint iChannelsCount;
            TPCANStatus stsResult;
            // preinitialize
            stsResult = PCANBasic.GetValue(PCANBasic.PCAN_NONEBUS, TPCANParameter.PCAN_ATTACHED_CHANNELS_COUNT, out iChannelsCount, sizeof(uint));

Hello,

Sorry, this is a common mistake.
Windows was using an older .dll than the one I expected.
Copying the version 4.4.0.288 in the root folder of my project solved the issue.

Many thanks for your help.
You can close the ticket.
