<p>Hello J. Zhao,</p>
<p>I had a similar issue recently, here are a few steps I hope would be helpful:</p>
<p>- Be sure to write the code correctly. You can use the template file of creating new types found in your trnsys directory. You can also use the programmer's guide documentation. </p>
<p>- You should have a compiler that can be integrated in the VS. In my case, I used the Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011.</p>
<p>- If you do, open the VS with Fortran supported coding. Next you can open the already available project (.sln) found in the directory: \Trnsys17\Compilers\IvfCXE2011. If another compiler is used, I think you should use the specific file for that compiler
(4 files are available).</p>
<p>- Now the project will appear in the Solution Explorer window. Add your type under TRNDLL\Source Files\Types, compile it and set the TRNDLL as startup project.</p>
<p>- Rebuild the TRNDLL with debug and release configurations. The new DLLs <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">will </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">be </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">created </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">in </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">\Trnsys17\Compilers\IvfCXE2011.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">- Copy the TRNDLL.dll created in the release folder into \Trnsys17\Exe
folder. (Don't delete the original .dll but keep it with different name in case something wrong happened)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', NotoColorEmoji, 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Android Emoji', EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;"><br>
</span></p>
In fact, I followed those steps to modify certain component and it worked, so I thought I could share my experience. I hope it would be useful information. You can always refer to the documentation (programmer's guide) for more detailed instructions.

Dear TRNSYS users,</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Did anyone successfully create a new component in TRNSYS using Microsoft visual studio?</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I followed this:</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Create a new component in TRNSYS 17 – export as a FORTRAN file - Edit the FORTRAN file in VS – Use Release configuration – Build solution
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I kept on receiving an error…</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I have also tried another way:</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Using the existing solution file in C:\Trnsys17\Compilers\IvfCXE2011 – add the export FORTRAN file to the solution - Recompile the solution using
<b>MyType</b> as the project file</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The compilation seemed to always skip compiling Mytype…. </p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Does anyone have a method for creating a simple component in TRNSYS 17 using VS? </p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
A brief of steps would be much appreciated!!!</p>
