I am working with Teklynx’s Codesoft 9 using their automation controls. Codesoft is a label generation and printing program. I’ve used its sister product LabelView in the past to automate label printing, but as of LabelView 9 they dropped their automation servers.

You have to add two references: LabelManager2 and TkxRFTAG. LabelManager2 hides in the COM list as TK Labeling ActiveX 6.0 and installed just fine. The reference to the the other has the same name TkxRFTAG as the library.

When I selected it I received this error including the double back slashes.

"Unable to add reference "C:\Program Files (x86)\Teklynx\CODESOFT 9\\TkxRFTag.tlb"

I’ve had the same problem on several machines. How do you register the type library?

    There was something odd with the backslashes, but the key was the registering the library manually.
    To do that required the type library registration utility in the .Net folder.

    C:\Users\Rich>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regtlibv12.exe "C:\Program
Files (x86)\Teklynx\CODESOFT 9\TkxRFTag.tlb"
Registration of TkxRFTAG.tlb successful.

    Afterwards I had two TkxRFTAG entries the new one was 2.0 and it added easily to the project reference list. I don’t know why there were two of them, I only installed Codesoft right before working with it and it was a new PC. The automation objects are installed with the base software.
