C# and Lua

[onetwosix]

It is currently 1:44 AM. When I started trying to create a simple C# project that implemented Lua it was 10:30. In this time period I have read tutorials, articles, and experimented, but I don't even have a hello world program to show for all of my efforts.

I have downloaded the LuaInterface1.3 (I know, an old version but that is what the main tutorial i was reading was using) and saved it at this path: C:\LuaInterface\luainterface-1.3.0.

I have MSVC# 2008 Express Edition.

Here is what I have done:

• I created a console project and called it LuaTest.
• The first thing I did was add a reference to LuaInterface.dll.
• I added luanet.dll, LuaInterface.dll and lua50.dll to the debug folder of the LuaTest project
• Then in the autogenerated file Program.cs I added the using statement, "using LuaInterface;".
• I wrote some code in main which gives me this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using LuaInterface;

namespace LuaTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Lua lua = new Lua();
            lua["num"] = 2;
            lua["str"] = "a string";

            double num = (double)lua["num"];
            string str = (string)lua["str"];

            Console.WriteLine("str:" + str + "\tnum:" + num);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

When I try to compile this I get the following error: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B) and the line

Lua lua = new Lua();

is highlighted.

I am frustrated and tired, I really want to use lua. Please help me! What is wrong, what do I need to do?

I guess I need to reply to this and BUMP it back up. If someone has any idea of other forums I could post this at to help me get an answer to my question pm me. Thanks.

Try setting the target platform to 32-bit?

this should work

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using LuaInterface;

namespace LuaTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Program prog = new Program();
            Lua lua = new Lua();
            lua["num"] = 2;
            lua["str"] = "a string";

            double num = (double)lua["num"];
            string str = (string)lua["str"];

            Console.WriteLine("str:" + str + "\tnum:" + num);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
