MultiTerm 2017 connection to server fails

Question

Trying to connect to MultiTerm Server using the example code from SDK. This works fine with MultiTerm 2014 but when I install 2017 then it fails 
 Set oLocalRep = oMt.LocalRepository 
 I updated the Reference to MultiTerm140.TMO 14.0 Type Library. 
 Trying in C# code it is also fails (this also works with 2014, and I also updated the References accordingly) 
 MultiTermApp = new MultiTermIX.Application(); 
 I tried to reinstall MultiTerm, still no luck. 
 
 Any idea how to fix this? 
 
 Regards, 
 Judit

Hello Judit Gal , 
 
The first thing her that springs to mind is that your client is running an older version of MultiTerm Server that does not support MT 2017. 
Before we can investigate further, maybe check back with your client to find out exactly what versions they are using (of GS/Studio/MT).

Hello Judit Gal ,

I had a look in Multiterm SDK documentation and I found out that in order to connect to server using C# code, you need to use the Sdl.MultiTerm.TMO.Interop.dll which is created specially to develop functionality using C#. Accordingly to Multiterm documentation, the MultitermIX namespace is used for programmatic access to MultiTerm Client functionality through COM (e.g. VBA). (see below print screen)

With kind regards,

 Hi Judit! Yes, we did manage to make it work here and here . It seems to be an environment problem.

Judit Gal If you're using Visual Studio, right click on the MultiTermIX reference -> properties and set "Embed Interop Types" to "False".

 Are you trying to create a plugin? If so, please use the same version of the plugin template as the MultiTerm... So if you're using MultiTermIX version 14, use the Trados Studio templates 2017.
