For both development and execution environments, please set up the IPLink client library using the 32-bit installer.

However, if you are developing using Visual Studio 2020, please also install the 64-bit version in your development environment.

 

 

■If you want to compile the user application in 64-bit

 

For both development and execution environments, please set up the IPLink client library using the 64-bit installer.

However, if you are developing using Visual Studio 2010 ~ 2019, please also install the 32-bit version in your development environment.

Migrating from previous versions

If you have created a IPLink client application using the older versions "ClientIPLink4.ocx (IPLink library for Version 4)" or "ClientIPLink5.ocx (IPLink library for Version 5)", connection to the IPLink server of Version 6 is not guaranteed. Therefore, applications created with older versions must be migrated to the new version.

 

The migration steps are as follows:

 

1.Install Version6 product.

2.Start your development environment (for example, VisualBasic.NET) and paste a new "ClientIPLink6.ocx (IPLink library for Version6)".

3.Make all of the newly pasted properties the same as the properties in the old library.
* When migrating a program developed with VisualBasic 6 to VisualBasic.NET, some property names will change. The changed names are as follows:

VisualBasic 6 Name

VisualBasic.NET Name

Update

CtlUpdate

State

CtlState

If you are using the properties in the above table in your source code, you will need to make changes.

 

4.Delete the old library.

5.Please check all the movements to make sure it works.
