NET.addAssembly - Package: NET

Make .NET assembly visible to MATLAB

Syntax

Description

asmInfo = NET.addAssembly(globalName) loads a global .NET assembly into MATLAB.

asmInfo = NET.addAssembly(privateName) loads a private .NET assembly.

Tips

• MATLAB dynamically loads the mscorlib.dll and system.dll assemblies from the .NET Framework class library the first time you type "NET." or "System.". You do not need to call NET.addAssembly to access classes in these assemblies.

• Refer to your .NET product documentation for the name of the assembly and its deployment type (global or private).

Input Arguments

globalName	One of the following: String representing the name of a global assembly. Instance of System.Reflection.AssemblyName class.
privateName	String representing the full path of a private assembly.

Output Arguments

asmInfo

NET.Assembly object containing names of the members of the assembly.

Examples

Display today's date using System.DateTime in the mscorlib assembly.

System.DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString

Call the System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show method in the global assembly System.Windows.Forms.

asm = NET.addAssembly('System.Windows.Forms');
import System.Windows.Forms.*;
MessageBox.Show('Simple Message Box')

Display classes in the private assembly NetSample.dll.

asm = NET.addAssembly('c:\work\NetSample.dll');
