.Net features

In order to use the .Net interface, the .Net library has to be created. An model procedure for installing a .Net library is provided in the next sub topic (.Net installation). The .Net library ODABA-net.dll may be referenced in MS Visual Studio .Net projects by referencing the ODABA-net.tlb type library, which has been created with the installation.

Using the interface in VB script programs (e.g. MS Office macros) causes some problems, since the ODABA interface uses many names, which are reserved names for VB Script. A simple workaround is providing a wrapper library as C# or VB interface library, which is described in sub topic .Net wrapper library.

In order to use MS Office extensions (document generation), additional resources are required, which are not part of the installation. How to make those resources available is described in sub topic MS Office document generation.
