Labview C# interface

[smash]

I currently have a complex system that is control mainly by LabVIEW but one other smaller component run by a C# code. I would like to control a code written in C# with LabVIEW. (The C# code was written in Microsoft Studio). Is this possible? How would I go about doing this?

This has been asked many times. Have you tried a search on how to call .NET from LabVIEW?

If the C# code is an assembly then simply use the .NET functions. Note that depending on your LabVIEW version you will have limitations on which versions of .NET is supported. Check your LabVIEW documentation. If the C# code is an application then you can either compile the relevant code into a separate, reusable C# assembly or use a more general method for controlling applications. This has also been discussed many times in the forum.

I have a sitation that is sort of the other way around. I am deveoping a C# based application but I want to integrate a LabView window into that app.

Calling a c# DLL isn't the goal, It is more along the lines of calling LabView from c#.

Any ideas?

Secondly just a search should give you enough results. http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/global/lang/en/pg/1/q/call%20a%20labview%20dll%20...

Examples like these should help:

You can build a dll using LabVIEW which can be called by your application.

Also there is an example that ships with LabVIEW which may help with data passing: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\examples\dll\data passing

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this info.
