How to develop ECI and ESI applications using the .NET Framework.
If you are developing using Microsoft Visual Studio, you must add a reference to the IBM.CTG.Client.dll assembly.
When you have added the reference, the types in the IBM.CTG namespace can be used to perform ECI and ESI calls to CICS. To avoid the need to fully qualify each type, you can add the IBM.CTG namespace to the imports section of your code.
See Microsoft Visual Studio documentation for further information on creating and building projects.
The .NET Framework provides command line tools for compiling and linking .NET applications. Applications that are written in C# can be compiled and linked using the csc tool:
csc /target:exe /out:"AppName.exe" /reference:"IBM.CTG.Client.dll" "SourceFile.cs"
Applications that are written in Visual Basic.NET can be compiled and linked using the vbc tool:
vbc /target:exe /out:"AppName.exe" /reference:"IBM.CTG.Client.dll" "SourceFile.vb"
For more information on the csc and vbc command line tools see the Microsoft documentation.
