Creating .NET Objects

You can create .NET objects on the block diagram. Use a Constructor Node to create a .NET object on the block diagram and access properties and methods for the object. With .NET Framework, use a .NET container to create a .NET Framework control on the front panel. You also can add .NET Framework controls to the Controls palette for later use. You can handle events for .NET Framework objects.

Note You cannot switch between design mode and run mode for a .NET container as you can for an ActiveX container. The behavior of a .NET container is similar to that of an ActiveX container in design mode.

.NET Framework objects can be visible or invisible to the user. For example, buttons, windows, pictures, documents, and dialog boxes are visible to users. Application objects are invisible to users.

.NET Framework controls automatically use the user interface execution system.

Use the .NET functions to access the .NET objects and their associated properties and methods.
