Working example on Visual Studio

Hi, I received the RKS+CAN cable and found that KCANMonitor isn't very convenient for my situation. Is it possible to get a working example for Visual Studio 2010 or 2012? The existing project is not compatible, and after attempting to port it, I am encountering project errors.
'Is it possible to use the RKS-USB.DLL file in Visual C#?' Perhaps it is possible to obtain an example?

'Please provide the text you would like me to translate from German to English.'

And what version of software should I use to be able to build that example?
1>c:\users\hp\desktop\example\example\stdafx.h(23) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'afxwin.h': No such file or directory

I'm currently encountering this error.

Hi,

What exactly is your problem? The project is intentionally in an "old" format (Visual Studio 2008)) because every newer Microsoft Visual Studio version could easily migrate it to its version. This allows the use of Visual Studio 2008, 2010, 2012, or 2015.

Simply install Visual Studio 2015 RC Community Edition along with the Multibyte MFC Library for Visual Studio 2015 RC, and you can begin. For free!

Please don't do anything silly. Just open the project solution, Visual Studio will prompt you to convert it, so say "yes, do it" and then compile.

Best, Rainer.

'Thanks, this is the information I was looking for. I was trying to compile it using VS Express, but it's missing some components.' Jetzt funktioniert es.

I have some more questions:

//Set the timeouts for reading / writing data to the RKS+CAN interface.
BOOL RKSSetTimeouts(DWORD dwMsTimeoutRead, DWORD dwMsTimeoutWrite);

1. Am I understanding this correctly? If I set this value to RKSSetTimeouts(200, 200) and the FIFO is empty, will every call to the RKSCANRx() function take 200ms? And if I want to read it without any delay, should the read timeout be set to 0?

2. What are the minimum and maximum values for `dwMsTimeoutRead` and `dwMsTimeoutWrite`? DWORD?

3. What is the size of the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) queues? If I read this function periodically, at a rate faster than the FIFO buffer fills up, will I be able to handle all the received CAN data without any issues?

// Get one CAN message from the receive queue, RKSCANOpen(...) must have.
// called before. Returns TRUE on success.
extern 'C' __declspec(dllexport) BOOL RKSCANRx(can_msg_t* pMsg);

1.) No. If a function is able to deliver data, it returns immediately. If not, it waits for the specified timeout period and then gives up (returns).
"I don't know the maximum values, and it's not really important. These values specify timeouts for read or write access during operations between the Winusb device driver and the device hardware. The minimum value (read + write) is 0ms, which doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense to wait more than a few seconds for a response from the device. Just keep the default values." Why should anyone give the driver, e.g., 10 minutes to get a reply from the USB hardware?
3.) The CAN hardware utilizes 32 CAN frame FIFO buffers. Writing to the hardware is NOT buffered by the device driver itself. Reading is buffered as a list, and no data will be lost as long as there is enough memory to store it and you do not close the connection.
"In practice, you don't need to worry about that." Nothing gets lost.

A C# interface/example for the RKS+CAN hardware is under development and available upon request.
