Hi Sandeep,

I am trying to develop an addon on a test environment. I have used the SAP B1 studio to create a form reading some data, then imported this form into MS-visual studio to export .ard file using B1DE and finally trying to import it to SAP B1.

the addon doesn't work when I try to setup my file from Add-on Manager it gives me some errors like "connection timed out".

I'm using SAP B1DE v8.8

Visual studio 2010

and SAP B1 v9.0

Hi moustafa ,

Connection timed out means that your add-on is not

connecting back to the UI.

Try this code for DI Company Connection..

Private Sub SetApplication()

        '*******************************************************************

        '// Use an SboGuiApi object to establish connection

        '// with the SAP Business One application and return an

        '// initialized appliction object

        '*******************************************************************

        Dim SboGuiApi As SAPbouiCOM.SboGuiApi

        Dim sConnectionString As String

        SboGuiApi = New SAPbouiCOM.SboGuiApi

        '// by following the steps specified above, the following

        '// Statment should be suficient for either development or run mode

        'sConnectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.GetValue(1)

        sConnectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.GetValue(1) '

        'sConnectionString = "5645523035496D706C656D656E746174696F6E3A59313931303035313531383699469FA92C3C9A964A219C5862952A90D911E9" 'Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.GetValue(1)'

        Try

            SboGuiApi.Connect(sConnectionString)

            '// connect to a running SBO Application

            '// get an initialized application object

            SBO_Application = SboGuiApi.GetApplication()

        Catch ex As Exception

            MsgBox("Make Sure That SAP Business One Application is running!!! ", MsgBoxStyle.Information)

            End

        End Try

        SBO_Application.StatusBar.SetText("DI is Connecting now", SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Long, SAPbouiCOM.BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_Warning)

    End Sub
