NX Open for .NET and Visual Basic .NET

[KevMCI]

I am new to NX Open for .NET, and would like some help as to how I can set up my environment in order to debug NX Open programs through the VB.Net debugger. Any ideas?

You can use .NET in NX? I thought only GRIPS and C+ were available to write code for UG/NX...

You can use .NET for NX4, for certain. (Just checked on the help pages). You do need the .NET framework installed separately, though.

NX/Open was first introduced in NX3. It was not that thorough, but you could do the basics and get some of your UG/Open applications to start using some of the NX/Open classes.

I have a couple documents regarding building .net application in NX. First one is how to build a NX Open .net application at:

The next one is how to convert a C++ journal file into an application at:

and finally location where UGS provides sample applications located in the UGII_BASE_DIR at:

Forgot to say that NX4 has a lot more coverage and NX5 hopefully will be 90% or greater coverage, so there should be no reason to use anything else as the foundation. Plus the ability to use Java, C++, .Net (C#, VB), Knowledge Fusion to do your development work is a great benefit. No longer will we need to learn a new tool to do what we have been doing for years in another language.

GRIP and C do not have an interface into this new NX/Open layer, they will continue to be supported in the legacy UG/Open interface, which also means they will not be enhanced. So It's time to quit developing in GRIP and C.
