[djslabs]

Trying to include in a vb.net app written under visual studio 2022.

windows app, .net 6.0, target cpu x86. running under windows 11 pro.

code snippet
Dim dmxtimer As New DmxTimer

    Dim dmxcontroller As New OpenDmxController(dmxtimer)

    dmxcontroller.Open(0)

    dmxcontroller.SetChannelRange(1, 0, 0, 0, 0)

    dmxtimer.Start()

    Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

    dmxtimer.Dispose()
    dmxcontroller.Dispose()

at execution time receive the following on the dmxcontroller.open(0) statement

Exception thrown: 'System.DllNotFoundException' in DMX.NET.dll
An exception of type 'System.DllNotFoundException' occurred in DMX.NET.dll but was not handled in user code
