NI-DAQmx driver compatibility with Visual Studio (C++ ) .NET 4.0

[fish8100]

Is the NI-DAQmx driver that ships with the NI USB-6008/6009 compatible with Visual Studio 2010 (C++) and .NET 4.0???

The OS is WinXP (32 bit)

Thanks.

It is! If you installed DAQmx before Visual Studio then is won't automatically install examples and other helpful hooks into the system, which you can add retroactively by going to modify the National Instruments program and selecting to modify the DAQmx driver, and selecting the components for .NET. Check out this article on examples.

That's what I wanted to know.

Thanks.

I just noticed that you are working with 2010 and C++, and the DAQmx readme 9.3 has a table that lists only c# for 2010 and only 2005/2008 for C++. This means that the DAQmx won't populate into 2010 automatically, but the .NET assembly can be linked into your project like any third party .NET assembly. I'm not sure if there are other caveats about why it wasn't listed, but I'd expect them to work.
