Purpose

The module LoadBase loads a ml.Base-derived object from a file.

Tips

There are several possible reasons for the Error - Object could not be loaded message.

Usually, the reason is simply an incorrect file (such as a version conflict or something similar).

However, the message will also appear when you attempt to load (and thus create) objects of classes declared in a DLL that has not been loaded yet.

For example, you cannot load a CSOList object if the DLL MLCSO is not loaded. The solution is to add a module from that DLL to the network before pressing the “load” button.

Usually, there will be such a module in your network anyway, as you likely need it to process the object you want to load; therefore, this error will occur only rarely.
