How to call function in C# DLL

What is the way for LabVIEW 7.0 Call Function Library Node to call function generated by Visual Studio.net especially C# ?

I have no experience with C# or better .net DLLs. But I heard that they
are not classical DLLs anymore but rather assemblies or something like
that. So I have a gut feeling that the Call Library Node will not really
work with .net assemblies.

I think Rolf is right, and you will probably want to look at the
tutorial on zone.ni.com. I searched for .NET and LabVIEW and the
tutorial was on the top. Since the .NET or C# code will produce an
assembly, the easiest thing to do is to use the .NET assembly. It is
probably possible to build a DLL instead or put a DLL wrapper on it, but
I'm not sure it is worth it.

Did someone have an example in LabView 8.5 of Function Library Node that call function that  generated by Visual Studio.net especially C# ?

Did someone have  a new information about this?or  someone have any special problems wuth this?

thanks alot,

In this case it's probably better for you to start a new thread and reference the old one, rather than replying to a thread that's just about 4 years old.

LabVIEW 8.5 can call .NET assemblies. You do not use the Call LIbrary Function Node, as LabVIEW has native .NET functions to call .NET class constructors. I've done it with the MS .NET assemblies as well as with a .NET assembly I wrote in C#. There's nothing special about it, and LabVIEW comes with plenty of example on how to do this. Just open up the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples), and search for ".NET".
