  • 1.  c# dll Reference

    Posted Jul 10, 2015 12:02 PM

    Instead of a web service is there a DLL that can be added as a references for working with the Management Platform.

    I've created some code to interact with the ASDK.NS and the NSResourceWeb.  I'd like to directly add the dll reference and not use the web service.

    You could install the com objects and use them.You wilI​ find the install at the following location:

    %ProgramFiles%\Altiris\Symantec Installation Manager\Installs\Altiris


    Here you will find:

    For 64-bit computers, the Symantec_asdkcomcombine_7_6_x64.msi file.
    For 32-bit computers, the symantec_asdkcomcombine_7_6_x86.msi file.

    The msi files refused to install.  They stated they had to be installed through the Symantec Installation manager.

    You will find the necessary COM installers in the ASDK folder in %programfiles%\Altiris. All MSI files inside the Symantec Installation Manager folder are designed to be executed through SIM.

    I know that you do not want to use the webservices, however maybe it is of interest anyway.

    In the ASDK help file you find the information about "Creating and using proxy classes". The help file can be found in %programfiles%\Altiris\Altiris ASDK\Help and then open the .chm file. In the help file you find the information under Programming Guides --> C# Web Service Programming Guid --> Creating and Using Proxy Classes...

    That is working much better.  Thanks!

    Now I need to overcome some permissions problem.
