Alternative Ice::initialize in Client

[amrufon]

Hello.

This post is inline with my continuing quest to get ICE working with our system. For further reference, you can check out the following posts:

• Access Violation using ICE with Automation DLL
• ICE Client DLL Template

So what's my problem again? Well, the current ICE client samples that I've seen are all expecting that the client is an Application. Unfortunately, in my case ... the client is a DLL.

The idea is something like this:

ASP or VB application --> ICE Client DLL --> internet -->> ICE Server EXE

I have overcome the hump on getting a DLL working ... now my problem is with regards to the line:

//Initialize ICE
ic = Ice::initialize(argc, argv);

My problem with this is that since the ICE client is a DLL, I dont have the argc and argv variables. Is there a way which I can initialize ICE without passing these parameters?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Alex

Just use something like:

int dummy = 0;
ic = Ice::initialize(dummy, 0);

Marc,

Thanks. This last code basically completes the C++ part of the puzzle. I'm moving to the VB and J side to see how the thing works in comparison to our original net codes.

Thanks again.
