Where is the .NET function reference help file?

[ChrisErven]

Hi There,

I have Labview 7.1 and NI-DAQmx. I have an FPGA board which time-tags signals coming in and a NI digital IO card which reads these time tags in. Now I want to program it. I have some old example code for Visual Basic 6. I'm looking to migrate it to Visual Basic.NET or C#.NET. Now traditional NI-DAQ has a handy "Traditional NI-DAQ Function Reference Help File". I've spent the last 20 minutes looking for something similar for .NET. I've been going through some of the example .NET code. Obviously for .NET the NI API is object oriented, but I can't find any documentation for it installed or online. Where can I get it? Oh I don't have Measurement Studio which adds stuff to the help menu in Visual Studio .NET I take it? Surely there's documentation separate from this though.

Thanks,
Chris

Hello

The installed documentation contains the NI-DAQmx API overview, measurement tasks and concepts, and function reference. This help is fully integrated into the Visual Studio .NET documentation. To view the DAQmx .NET documentation, go to Start»Programs»NI-DAQ»NI-DAQmx .NET Reference Help. Expand NI Measurement Studio Help»NI Measurement Studio .NET Class Library»Reference to view the function reference. Expand NI Measurement Studio Help»NI Measurement Studio .NET Class Library»Using the Measurement Studio .NET Class Libraries to view conceptual topics for using NI-DAQmx with Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET.

To get to the same help topics from within Visual Studio .NET 2003, go to Help»Contents. Select Measurement Studio from the Filtered By drop-down list and follow the previous instructions.

You don't need to have Measurement Studio to get this help, even though the library names have Measurement Studio on there.
