Directly use the Labview on VisualStudio

[kawai823]

I have already built the labview to control the NI USB 6353. But I have another sensor which need to be prgrammed by C#. Can I use VisualStudio to program the sensors and import what I had from Labview so that I don't have to rewrite the USB 6353 again in C# language? Thank you so much!

Hi,

you could build a LabVIEW Dll and use that in C#. My guess is, it would still make sense performance wise, to rewrite the code for your 6353 in C#, if it's not too much. Generally there are many solutions to your problem: Create LabVIEW Dll to use in C#, rewrite code in C#, program the Sensor in LabVIEW (if there's a .Net assembly it might work just fine) or create a C# DLL and use it in LabVIEW.

Depending on what you are doing to control the USB 6353, it may not be that big of a deal to program it in C#.

It isn't a bad thing to know more than one programming language.

I would agree - with this caveat:

Learn the new language correctly.  If you just learn C# by just winging it, who knows what kind of coding cr@p you could be churning out?  It is a headache to troubleshoot when someone does that in LabVIEW, and because of that, I'd never foist any of my VB .NET stuff upon anyone in a VS forum.
