Sub in Opening up a menu item from a custom button in MES

I have a custom dashboard assigned to a button on the MES screen. How does the code differ in C# from VB to Launch the form?

I get the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Below is my code

private void button46_Click(object sender,System.EventArgs args)
{
// Add Event Handler Code
ProcessCaller.LaunchForm(this.oTrans, “UDMMTDSH”);
}

Suggestions?? Please and thanks! :slight_smile:

The code looks fine, are you trying to write it in VB?

No, I am trying to write it in C#

The code compiles fine, but it will not launch the dashboard. When I click on the button, I get the error message.
The is the detail:
Application Error

Exception caught in: Ice.Lib.EpiClientLib

Thank you for your help!

I’m guessing you’ve verified that that Menu ID is spelled right and it does exist? I don’t know what else it could be.

Jose,
I found that what happened is because it was trying to open a dashboard assembly I had to redeploy the dashboard and then it opened fine.
