Builder NE 2010 a problem with neural network toolbox

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi, I'm using 2010a, trying to read a saved neural network and then simulate it using an input which is passed from a C# windows form. I created two projects using deploytool. the first one reads the .mat file and returns the network1 object containing the net;
function answer = readnn(path) load(path); answer = network1; end
second one simulates it using sim command:
function answer = simnn(net, input) dummy = network(net); answer = sim(dummy,input); end
I reference both projects in VS2010. the read part works just fine and I can see the net in debugger(although it warnings about a network object being converted to a struct). But it does not simulate.
"MWMCR EvaluateFunction error ... Error using ==> feval undefined function or method 'dotprod' for input argument of type struct"
any thoughts? I created and trained nn in 2010a. also tested ther application in VS2008 in .NET 2.0 3.5 and 4.0 platforms. same problem persists.

Hi,
I think I have seen this before. When compiling the class constructor is not compiled and during runtime the class in unknown and because of this it gets converted to a struct. (could you post the full warning here?). I think the solution was to add the constructor as pragma:
%#function constructor_name
Unfortunately I have forgotten which the right constructor is. Maybe the warning can help you here.
I think there other problems with compiling a pre trained network. If I can remember correctly a warning like this indicates it:
Undefined function or method 'initzero' for input arguments of type 'char'.
The solution for this is to get in contact with the technical Support. I think they can provide a patch for this.
