Calling from Visual Basic .NET

VB.NET programs should call the SSA-NAME3 DLL (

ssan3cs.dll

) as shown in the sample program. Further hints are provided below.

To use the

ssan3cs.dll

in a project being created in the Visual Studios.NET IDE, use the following steps as a guideline:

Add a reference to the

ssan3cs.dll

Right-click on the project/solution name in the

Solution Explorer

pane of the IDE. Select

Add Reference...

Make sure that the

.NET

tab is the active tab. Use the

Browse

button to find ssan3cs.dll

Highlight the dll in the Explorer window and click

Open

This adds the

ssan3cs.dll

to the Selected Components pane of the

Add Reference

dialog. Click

Add the

ssa

namespace to the project/solution:

Right-Click on the project/solution name in the

Solution Explore

pane of the IDE. Select

Properties

Click Imports under the

Common Properties

folder.

In the

Namespace:

textbox type

ssa

and click

Add Import

Click

to exit.

Step 2 eliminates the need to have the following in any module:

Imports ssa

Otherwise, you can skip Step 2 and add the

Imports

statement as above.

Coding the ssan3_close Call outside of the Finalize() Method

Calling the

ssan3_close

method from a

Finalize()

method is not recommended. This is because it delays the call to

ssan3_close

until the runtime runs garbage collection on the released object, which can be anytime after the object has been released by the program.

Instead, it is recommended that the user implement a public cleanup or close method that performs the necessary housekeeping, including a call to

Rename Saved Search
