trouble adding reference to library

Hi,

I'm writing some simple code in C# using visual studio to read the channels on a model 2206B oscilloscope. When I try to add a reference to PS2000a.dll, MVS gives the following error message:

A reference to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PicoTechnology\PicoScope6\PS2000a.dll' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

Is this the correct using directive or do I need to reference a different library?

Thanks for the help!

Have you checked our 2000a C# example on GitHub

Do you have a C# example that's easier to understand, something that doesn't require a wrapper?

I pointed you at the GitHub examples so that you can see how we use the imports to define the dll functions.

If you email your current project (without exe and dll files) to support@picotech.com with a full description showing exactly what you are trying to do, we will be able to point you in the right direction.

I write in Visual Studio, but for vb.net. When I use the labjack I reference the LJUDDotNet.dll file. It is located in the \Drivers folder, not the PicoScope6 folder.
