Test Your .NET Development Environment - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

MATLAB® engine API for .NET ships with example C# code that you can use to test your environment and to become familiar with the use of the engine API. The source code is located in the folder defined byfullfile(_`matlabroot`_,"extern","examples","engines","dotnet"), where _`matlabroot`_ is the path returned by the MATLABmatlabroot command.

The folder contains:

• dotnet_engine_examples.sln — Microsoft® Visual Studio® project files.
• .cs files — C# source files. These applications:
  • Start a MATLAB instance and connect to it.
  • Close and dispose of the MATLAB session.
    The Program.cs file is a console application that runs all of the example files included in the project.
    The MainWindow.xaml.cs file is a Windows® GUI application that calculates a factorial based on user input.
• README — Text file that describes how to build and run the examples using Visual Studio.

Copy the files to a writable folder on your path using the MATLABcopyfile function:

copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,"extern","examples","engines","dotnet","dotnet_engine_examples.sln"),".","f") copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,"extern","examples","engines","dotnet","console*.*"),".\console","f")

If you are on a Windows platform:

copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,"extern","examples","engines","dotnet","gui*.*"),".\gui","f")

Follow these instructions in the README file to build and run the examples:

• Verify that you have a supported version of .NET.
• Set the run-time environment variable.
• Call dotnet build from the_`matlabroot`_/extern/examples/engines/dotnet folder.
• Call dotnet run from the_`matlabroot`_/extern/examples/engines/dotnet/console folder.
• On Windows platforms, call dotnet run from the_`matlabroot`_/extern/examples/engines/dotnet/gui folder.
