I'm trying to write a piece of code that will retrieve a pi tag, so I can post the value to either an excel sheet or a VB form. I'm new to coding with the PISDK. When I run this piece of code I get a runtime error saying it's a name resolver issue. The error occurs on the last line. Does anyone see why this is not working? thanks, jason

HEre is my code:

Dim myServer As String
myServer = "pisrv1"

'Declare Server and PointList
Dim PiSvr As PISDK.Server
Dim testtag As PISDK.PointList

Dim WhereClause As String

Set PiSvr = Servers.DefaultServer
PiSvr.Open (myServer)

WhereClause = "tag = jasontest2.pv"

Set testtag = PiSvr.GetPoints("tag = jasontest2.pv")

Thanks, I've now got it working in Excel's VBA, but am also trying to get it working in VB from visual studio. However I keep getting a NotImplementedException() thrown. here is my code. Hate to ask again, but do you see anything in my code that may be throwing this exception. I haven't used Visual Studio in years, so I'm not truly sure if it's the code or the environment not set up.


Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

'Declare Server and PointList
Dim PiSvr As PISDK.Server
Dim testtag As PISDK.PointList
Dim WhereClause As String
Dim myServer = "789PiSrv1"


'define what PiSvr connects too

PiSvr = Servers(myServer)
PiSvr.Open()


'Set what tag to look for
WhereClause = "tag = 'jasontest2.pv'"
testtag = PiSvr.GetPointsSQL(WhereClause)
MsgBox(testtag(1))
MsgBox(testtag(1).Data.Snapshot)


' close connection to database
PiSvr.Close()

testtag = Nothing
PiSvr = Nothing

End Sub
