NET.addAssembly

Package: NET

Make .NET assembly visible to MATLAB

Syntax

asmInfo = NET.addAssembly(globalName) asmInfo = NET.addAssembly(privateName)

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

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

NET.addAssembly does not support assemblies generated by the MATLAB Compiler SDK™ product.

globalName

One of the following:

privateName

Character vector representing the full path of a private assembly.

asmInfo

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

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');
asm.Classes

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).
