3.1 CALLING THE DLL IN C#.NET
This demonstrates how to call the DLL in C# .NET.
Below the code is how to add a DLL Reference to a .NET project. (You will need to right click on the
project and Add a Reference to the DLL
’s also, to add these references to your project).
The code below is the clearest way to see how to connect, but here are the steps.
1. Add Code Reference to both the Cornerstone DLL and the CyUSB (Cypress) DLL.
2.
In the Form Designer file {Form.Designer} add the ‘using’ sections
3. {Form.Designer} Create new Cornerstone object
4. {Form.Designer} Connect and verify instrument responds
Changes to (Form Designer) file:
– Abbreviated to show added code snippets
//…
using CyUSB;
using CornerstoneDll;
namespace CornerstoneApp
{
partial class MainForm
{
/// <summary>
//….
USBDeviceList usbDevices;
CyUSBDevice cornerstone;
