Which one is best for c# .net (VS.Net)??

With the IBM .Net classes for WebSphere, I can't find out how to get an exception reason code to anything, reasonable. It returns 2018, 2059/8, 2085 etc etc, for which I can't find the const names containing these values that establish what the error is.

The ActiveX library that come with Websphere returns real code's so that you don't need to look anything up if examining a log for the application. Yet I rememeber reading that only one put and one get can be performed at the same time, regardless of whether the application is multithreading, which isn't desirable since i monitor and process multiple queues at the same time.

Kolban's MQSeries.Net is something I've not really looked at, and it feels sort of like getting a non-BMW approved conversion to your Mini Cooper S. Sure it'll make the thing run and perform so much better, but the BMW warranty is void because it's just not genuine.

Thanks for your advice.

Personally I think the .net classes as shipped with csd05. ActiveX is 'old' relatively and not updated to handle certain new features, whereas the .net classes seem to support everything.

Note MQC has in it MQLONG MQRC_HCONN_ERROR = 2018; as public constants, so although there is no a mapping to an 'english' reason code, you should be able to work out what they mean (Also 'mqrc 2018' helps). This is not unusual, as it is more rare for us to give an english reason as we normally just give the number.

I cant comment on Neils .net support other than to say the csd05 stuff is supported, which should be its selling point on its own (I hope!)

What is "CSD05" exactly? I just downloaded that off the IBM website and installed it and it appeared to be an upgrade? Did they put .Net class in this version then?

Thanks.

Dan.

Yes. (I shouldnt call it csd05...)

5.3 Fixpack 5 shipped the .net support which previously was in ma7p, updated and integrated with the product so it is officially supported. Prior to that it was a cat2 support pack, ie unsupported except as a best can do basis by the author.

Finally, an FYI - Make sure you follow the directions in the memo.ptf which is installed with fixpack 5 - By default the .net classes are not registered. Also note that code written against the support pack version needs rebuilding against the official version for it to pick up the new dll.
