For easier use it is
recommended that you write the statement “using METALIBLib;”
at the top of each “.cs” file where you want to use the DLL.
Use the “new” statement to create a new instance of an
interface:
|
MLReaderClass lReader =
new MLReaderClass ();
MLWriter lWriter =
new MLWriterClass (); |
If you do not use the “using
METALIBLib;” statement you have to declare the interfaces as
shown below:
|
METALIBLib.MLReaderClass lReader =
new
METALIBLib.MLReaderClass ();
METALIBLib.MLWriter lWriter =
new
METALIBLib.MLWriterClass (); |
Take a look at the C#
example that is located in the “C:\Program Files\Metalib\Examples\C#”
folder for more details.
