Connect to an External .NET Program

Access .NET executables and resources directly from a notebook.

Using Static Methods...

Load the .NET/Link package

Load the .NET/Link package using Get (<<):

Launch the .NET runtime

Launch the local .NET runtime with InstallNET:

Load an assembly

Load an assembly into the Wolfram kernel using LoadNETAssembly:

  • By default, LoadNETAssembly will search relative to $HomeDirectory for files. You can also specify an assembly name, an absolute file path or a directory to search.

Load a type

Load a type from the assembly using LoadNETType:

Use methods

You can now use static methods and properties from the type directly in computations:

Using a Class Instance...

Load the .NET/Link package

Load the .NET/Link package using Get (<<):

Launch the .NET runtime

Launch the local .NET runtime with InstallNET:

Load an assembly

Load an assembly into the Wolfram kernel using LoadNETAssembly:

  • By default, LoadNETAssembly will search relative to $HomeDirectory for files. You can also specify an assembly name, an absolute file path or a directory to search.

Create a type instance

Make a new instance of a type using NETNew:

Call methods

You can now use methods and properties from this instance directly in computations:
