VBORBLib is the Visual Basic integration part of the AGETOR(R) framework and is an extension of ORBLib, which also means that ORBLib is a required component when VBORBLib is used. VBORBLib implements nicer interfaces than ORBLib and also includes the possibility for AGETOR(R) services and clients to be implemented from COM enabled scripting environments like VBScript or VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).

The release of VBORBLib is in platform depended binary format for running on Microsoft Windows(R). Please consult the user guide located in the package for information on how to install and use. If you need help or information please contract AGETOR Support for information.

Please contact agetorsupport@bording.dk if you need information 
about when it will be available.  

+ IMPORTANT: Has been changed to reflect some changes in ORBLib
and can ONLY be used together with ORBLib 2.1 or later. 

+ IMPORTANT: ExternalORB has been removed.

+ IMPORTANT: The methods createStruct, getService and sendQuestion
has been removed. On the connect method the factory parameter has 
been removed.

+ The methods makeInvocation, doInvoke and brokerLogin has been 
added.  

+ IMPORTANT: After installation you will need to recompile every 
idl again with idl2vb. The use of the generated clients has not 
changed.

===============================================================
2003-05-30 VBORBLib 2.0.0
----------

+ IMPORTANT: Has been rebuild and packaged for use with ADK 2.0.0.

===============================================================
----------
2003-05-05 VBORBLib 1.2.0

+ IMPORTANT: This release depends on some changes to the Visual
Basic clients and services so they have to be regenerated with
idl2vb from ADK 1.3.12 and recompiled in Visual Basic.

+ IMPORTANT: The GUID of the VBORBLib has changed.

+ IMPORTANT: The IDL type sequence is no longer mapped to a
Collection in Visual Basic, but to a class with the same name as
the typedef used in the IDL that can be used the same way as a
normal Collection.

+ IMPORTANT: The method "getSequence" has changed its parameters,
so it now takes an instance of the sequences subtype as input.

+ In the IDL you can use includes of other IDL files. In the
Visual Basic projects you need to set the reference to the COM
object that is include.

+ Now you can set and get the timeout value used in the communication
 together with a status message from the ORB.

+ Two new methods have been included on the ServiceORB: "startService"
and  "awaitAndProcessRequest".

+ There has been included the possibility to make script clients from
VBScript and Visual Basic for Applications.

+ Bug fix: In some situations was the collections used as inout
parameters not cleared before returned to the clients, which resulted
in wrong data send to the client.
