     https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/1e050f/creating-and-using-dll-class-library-in-C-Sharp/

    1. Copy the calculation.dll in server bin folder  e.g.(C:\Program Files (x86)\Aras\Innovator\Innovator\Server\bin).

    Register your dll in method-config.xml file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Aras\Innovator\Innovator\Server) 

    1. Open method-config.xml file :

    2. Add your dll the namespace under <ReferencedAssemblies> xml tag

     

    3. Add your dll reference in <Template name="CSharp">

    Create your method in Aras and call your dll method from aras method.

    Thanks and regards,

    Hello Hafedh,

    In which .net framework version you compiled your dll?

    Please make sure your dll should be compiled in .net framework 4.0.

    Regards,

    Suhas
