D3XX 64-bit driver problem with multiple devices connected

(1/2) > >>

ganswer:
I'm using the FTD3XX_NET wrapper relying on the D3XX driver.
The D3xx driver v. 1.3.0.2 seems buggy in the 64-bit version. In this version, when the wrapper is used for enumerating the connected devices:

FTDI ftdi = new FTDI();
uint nDevices;
ftdi.CreateDeviceInfoList(out nDevices);
List<FTDI.FT_DEVICE_INFO> deviceInfoList;
deviceFtdi.GetDeviceInfoList(out deviceInfoList);

AND in case there are two devices connected, the second device in the list has Description empty and serial 0 (ftdi.GetDescriptio(deviceInfo) and ftdi.GetSerialNumber(deviceInfo)). While in the 32-bit version, the right Description and serial is returned also for the second device.

Looking deeper, when in 64-bit, the deviceInfo of the second device seems to have the data in the byte[] array field for Description (and similarly the one for Serial) shifted:
[0, 0, 0, 0, 70, 84, 68, 73, 32, 83.....]
while the first device has not those 4 initial bytes at 0.

Hello, yes I tried also the FTD3XX_NET you provided and the problem is confirmed. I'll write then, thanks

Please note that the source files are missing for the FTD3XX_Net.dll  linked to on the page: https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/SoftwareExamples/FT60X.htm . They are supposed to be in the file: https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D3XX/FTD3XX_NET.zip but that contains only the DLLs.  The files referenced above compile fine here, and I needed them to backlevel the dll from .Net 4.5 to 4.0. 

You don't want to have users have to come to a community site just to find this, but I am happy I succeeded!

I know this is an old post but I'm also loking for the D3XX NET souce. We have legacy code Framework 4.0 where we need to integrate the FT601. The link provided in this thread no longer works.
