Your Role in the .NET Application Deployment Process

Depending on the size of your organization, you may play one or more roles in the process of successfully deploying a .NET application. For example, your role may be to:

• Analyze user requirements and satisfy them by writing a program in MATLAB code (MATLAB programmer)

• Implement the infrastructure needed to successfully deploy a .NET application to the Web (middle-tier developer)

• Create a remotable component that can be shared across distributed systems (.NET developer)

• Perform tasks associated with numerous roles, usually within a smaller organization (end-to-end developer)

The table Application Deployment Roles, Goals, and Tasks describes some of the different roles, or jobs, that MATLAB Builder NE users typically perform and which tasks they would most likely perform when running the examples in this documentation.

Application Deployment Roles, Goals, and Tasks

Role	Knowledge Base	Responsibilities	Task To Achieve Goal
MATLAB programmer	MATLAB expert No IT experience No access to IT systems	Develops models; implements in MATLAB Uses tools to create a component that is used by the .NET programmer	See Magic Square Example: Creating a .NET Component From MATLAB Code.
.NET developer	Little or no MATLAB experience Moderate IT experience .NET expert Minimal access to IT systems	Integrates deployed component with the rest of the .NET application Integrates deployed MATLAB Figures with the rest of the .NET application	See Magic Square Example: Integrating Your .NET Component In a C# Application.

Products, Compilers, and IDE Installation

Install the following to run the example described in this chapter:

• MATLAB

• MATLAB Compiler

• MATLAB Builder NE

• An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Microsoft^® Visual Studio^®

Note   Log in with administrator privileges before installing these products.

For more information about product installation and requirements, see Installation and Configuration in the MATLAB Compiler documentation.

Microsoft .NET Framework Installation

Install the supported version of the Microsoft^® .NET Framework. Your ability to use the latest builder functionality often depends on having the most current version of the framework installed.

See Supported Microsoft .NET Framework Versions for details.

Troubleshooting Installation Problems.

Deployment Target Architectures and Compatibility

Before you deploy a component with MATLAB Builder NE, consider if your target machines are 32-bit or 64-bit.

Applications developed on one architecture must be compatible with the architecture on the system where they are deployed.

Dependency and Non-Compilable Code Considerations

Before you deploy your code, examine the code for dependencies on functions that may not be compatible with MATLAB Compiler.

For more detailed information about dependency analysis (depfun) and how MATLAB Compiler evaluates MATLAB code prior to compilation, see MATLAB Code Deployment, and in particular Writing Deployable MATLAB Code in this User's Guide.
