Tip: How To Execute C# or VB.NET Seamlessly in ABAP

A few days ago I published here the possibility to execute C# of VB.NET seamlessly in IRPA. On the same way is it possible to execute C# or VB.NET seamlessly in ABAP. Therefor I added a wrapper method in the COM library which delivers as return type a string. This method called run_str. It is very interesting to develop a component which can be used in different scenarios.

This approach uses the COM interface of the SAP GUI for Windows. Without the SAP GUI for Windows this approach can not be used. It is also not possible to use it with background processes.

Let us begin with the wrapper class for the COM library. It contains six public methods and the two most important are:

  • add_Assembly = Adds references to other dotNET assemblies
  • run_str = Executes VB.NET or C# code

The run_str method has six parameters

  1. Language as string, allowed are CS for C# or VB for VB.NET.
  2. Code as string.
  3. Instance of the class as string.
  4. Method to call as string.
  5. Parameters as string, optional, default value empty string. Parameters are always strings, so it is necessary to convert it in the code in the right format.
  6. Separator for the parameters as string, optional, default value comma

The VB.NET or C# source code can be stored as include object inside the SAP system. With the method read_incl_as_string it can be loaded into a string variable.

And now the result of the report as a sequence of images. At first pops up the Windows.Forms dialog of the VB.NET call.

Then it pops up the Win32 API dialog.

And then the Windows.Forms dialog of the C# code comes up.

Last but not least all the return values.

The same approach as for IRPA can also be applied to ABAP. Great, VB.NET and C# seamlessly in ABAP and also the possiblity to use Win32 API calls and also the possibility to use Windows.Forms.

      Hi Stefan,

      I like your idea of calling dotnet from SAP GUI, though I have no current application.

      However I am wondering what kind of license there is behind our dotnetRunner DLL, and wether you would share its source code.

      Cheers,

      Peter

      Hello Peter,

      thanks for your comment.

      I have not even thought about licensing issues. My libraries are all free, you can use it wherever you like. Once the development is complete I can provide the source, that's no secret. Give me a little bit more time and you will find it in the package.

      Best regards

      Hi Stefan!

      Great work! I currently don't have a use for it either, but you've shown people some new options and that is always a good thing.

      Since your code has very high reuse potential, instead of hosting your code as a zip on your website, you should consider putting it inside a dedicated github repository. Your code will get more exposure and maybe even potential contributors.

      Peter is right about asking for the license. In a corporate environment, people do need to ensure their dependencies have licenses and there might be caveats in it for you as well if you don't:

      "When you make a creative work (which includes code), the work is under exclusive copyright by default. Unless you include a license that specifies otherwise, nobody else can copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation. Once the work has other contributors (each a copyright holder), “nobody” starts including you." (https://choosealicense.com/)

      It is also very easy to add a license to the repository - there are some standard license templates to choose from. Both people and tools know where to look for the license on github, so this will save you a few questions down the road.

      If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

      Since it's using SAPGui for OLE, it won't work in background, obviously. Nonetheless, I really like it! Do you have a use case?

      An idea could be to create graphics based on data that a report has read from the database.

      Hi Stefan,

       

      This is a very useful code for me. However, I did execute the dotNetRunner command as suggested but even after doing it, the code

      CREATE OBJECT olib 'dotNET.Runner'.

      throws an exception SY-SUBRC = 2.

      Please help in rectifying the error.

      Hello Saurabh,
      it is necessary to register the dotNET Runner library first via regasm. When you have done that, please take a look at your security configuration to see if instantiation is allowed.

      Hello Himanshu,

      dotNETRunner is a dotNET library, it is not possible to register it with regsvr32.

      Try RegAsm instead.

      C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe dotNETRunner_x86.dll /codebase
      C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe dotNETRunner_x64.dll /codebase

      Hi Stefan,
      Thanks Again, your dll is working fine in ABAP. I am able to get the output...
      But when i execute my dll. i am not able to do.
      Some Qs are in my mind..
      1. Do i need to add assembly ??
      If Yes, then where i will find the assembly name???
      2. What i need to give here instead of dotnet.runner
      Let me provide you my dll code..
      I just need to fetch the token in abap using that TokenGen.dll
      Dll Name:-  TokenGen.dll
      I know i am disturbing you a lot...
      Thanks all for your help!!

      Hello Himanshu,
      sounds great.

      To your questions:

      1. You must add the assemblies that your code needs. You see the assembly names in VB.NET at Imports respectively in C# at using.
      2. Nothing, dotNET.Runner is the correct name. This command creates an object of dotNET.Runner class.
      3. As far as I can see is your C# code not complete. To call an DLL function you must use DLLImport. Look at the example above.

      Best regards

      Now i got another requirement is that... Client want to execute that using UI(CRM) ....

      We have made transaction launcher.. but i this as per your blog.. it is only available by GUI....

      So can you help me to execute that using CRM....

      Hello Himanshu,

      I assume the CRM is a web UI and runs in a browser. You can't use this approach without SAP GUI for Windows. Maybe you can solve your requirement with WebAssembly.

      Hi Stefan, your idea is great and helpfull in my scenario. I need to run a c# class that i've already wrote in sap, but your example doesn't work in my case.
      From your dotnetrunner.com package i copied the class, the includes and the program report.

      i copied the files from dotnetrunner.com into C:\Projects\SAP\IRPA\dotNETRunner\1.3.1 and i run the dotNETRunner_Register.reg

      when i'm launch the program z_dotnetrunner_test the gui ask me to use the file on my pc, i click on "consent" and then nothing, i don't have any output. Only "C# - return:" without any value.

      Am i doing something wrong?

      Thank you

      Hello Patryk,

      thank you for your reply.

      Do you execute the reg file in admin mode? This is necessary to set registry entries.

      Do you try the VBScript programs from the example folder? On this way you can see whether it works at all.

      Let me know your results.

      Best regards

      Thx Stefan, you helped me! i think that my problem was executing the reg files not as administrator. Now your example works great, but i have a new problem now. I would like to use C# class with udp client so i load the assembly in this way:

      Next i wrote the C# class with the using "*using System.Net.Sockets;" and if i run the program everything is correct. If i add the variable udpClient (like you can see in the image)

      everything stop working. i check and the System.Net.Sockets.dll exists, maybe i forgot something?

      if i debug lv_result in compile_code i can see the error  that can't find the udpclient type

      I'm very appreciate your help,

      Hello Sina,

      the reg files contains path information like

      "CodeBase"="file:///C:/Projects/SAP/IRPA/dotNETRunner/1.3.1/dotNETRunner_x86.DLL"

      You have to adjust this beforehand.

      Hello Sina,

      as far as I know is regsvr32 a program for registering and unregistering DLLs and ActiveX controls, but not for assemblies. Use regsam instead.

      Hello Sina,

      I am not sure that I understand your problem correctly.

      You want to use an additional dotNET DLL in the code which is executed in the context of dotNETRunner? If yes, use the method AddAssembly.

      Hello Stefan,
      I’m sorry, but my English is not very good
      if I am correct before we use the method AddAssembly we must register dll in regsam
      also in method AddAssembly we only write dll name and not direction of dll
      but how can i use dll located in "D:\MarkerDll.dll" ? can i set direction in method AddAssembly ?

      Hello Patryk,

      I try this C# code:

      //-Begin----------------------------------------------------------------
      
      using System;
      using System.Net.Sockets;
      
      public class UdpClientSample {
      
        public string Init() {
          try {
            UdpClient client = new UdpClient();
            return "Success";
          } catch (Exception ex) {
            return ex.Message;
          }
        }
      
      }
      
      //-End------------------------------------------------------------------

      I call the C# code with this VBScript test program:

      '-Begin-----------------------------------------------------------------
      
      Dim dotNETRunner, Result
      
      On Error Resume Next
      Set dotNETRunner = CreateObject("dotNET.Runner")
      If Not IsObject(dotNETRunner) Then
        MsgBox "Can't create dotNET.Runner", vbOkOnly, "Important hint"
        WScript.Quit
      End If
      On Error Goto 0
      
      dotNETRunner.AddAssembly = "System.dll"
      
      Result = dotNETRunner.CompileFile("CS", "Test.cs")
      If Result <> "" Then
        MsgBox Result, vbOKOnly, "Error"
        WScript.Quit
      End If
      
      Result = dotNETRunner.Run("UdpClientSample", "", "Init")
      MsgBox  "Return " & TypeName(Result) & ": " &Result, vbOkOnly, "Init"
      
      Set dotNETRunner = Nothing
      
      '-End-------------------------------------------------------------------

      And it works, it delivers success.

      Add only the assembly System.dll, the UdpClient type is only in this library.

      Best regards
      Stefan

      Hi Stefan, you're great! Your VBS is working well, but i have problem when i'm running the ABAP code.  Let's check my code:

      REPORT z_csharp_report.
      
        DATA:
          lo_dotNETRunner TYPE REF TO Z_CL_DOTNETRUNNER,
          lv_vbcode TYPE string,
          lv_cscode TYPE string,
          lv_result TYPE string.
      
        CREATE OBJECT lo_dotNETRunner.
        CHECK lo_dotnetrunner->load_lib( ) = 1.
      
        lo_dotnetrunner->add_assembly( iv_assemblyname = 'System.Net.dll' ).
      
        lv_cscode = lo_dotnetrunner->read_incl_as_string('Z_CSHARP_TEST').
      
        lv_result = lo_dotnetrunner->compile_code(
          iv_language = 'CS'
          iv_code = lv_cscode
        ).
      
        cl_abap_browser=>show_html(  html_string = lv_result ).
      
        CHECK lv_result IS INITIAL.
      
        lv_result = lo_dotnetrunner->run_string(
          iv_instance = 'UdpClientSample'
          iv_method = 'Init'
        ).
        WRITE: / `C# - Return: ` && lv_result.

       

      and the Z_CSHARP_TEST:

      *using System;
      *using System.Net.Sockets;
      *
      *public class UdpClientSample {
      *
      *  public string Init() {
      *    try {
      *      UdpClient client = new UdpClient();
      *      return "Success";
      *    } catch (Exception ex) {
      *      return ex.Message;
      *    }
      *  }
      *
      *}

       

      If i run this code i have a compilation error. The output of the show_xml is this:

      "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe" /t:library /utf8output /R:"System.Net.dll" /out:"C:\Users\pat\AppData\Local\Temp\3hny32e2.dll" /D:DEBUG /debug+ /optimize- /w:3  "C:\Users\pat\AppData\Local\Temp\3hny32e2.0.cs"

      if i try to run the command with my prompt i don't have the last 3hny32e2.0.cs file.

      if i run the report with the line commented: * //UdpClient client = new UdpClient(); everything is ok and the C# code run fine.

      Do you have some idea? i really don't know what to do.

       

      Thank you very much and have a nice weekend!

       

      Pat

      Hello Pat,

      change

      lo_dotnetrunner->add_assembly( iv_assemblyname = 'System.Net.dll' ).

      to

      lo_dotnetrunner->add_assembly( iv_assemblyname = 'System.dll' ).

      Best regards
      Stefan

      Great to hear that bro. Last weekend I found a few tins of strong beer. I will drink that this evening and think about you.
