.NET Winforms Application How to Read A Tag This example was built using Visual Studio 2003, so your .NET environment may be a little different. But the concept remains the same. Create a new .NET project. Add in a reference to the INGEAR.NET.ABLink component. Create a text box on your form. Create a button on the form, and go to the code routine that handles the  "OnClick" event. Add in the following lines of code (changing the IP address, CPU, Device, and and Tag Name as needed): Dim m_nResult As Integer Dim ignController As New _   ABLink.Controller "64.132.42.22") ignController.CPUType = _   ABLink.Controller.CPU.MLC ignController.DriverType = _   ABLink.Controller.Driver.NETENI Dim ignTag As New ABLink.Tag("N7:0") m_nResult = ignController.ReadTag(ignTag) TextBox1.Text = _   String.Format("{0}", ignTag.Value) Compile and Run Of course, you will need to check for result codes from the Connect and ReadTag methods, but you get the idea. A few lines of code and you've got data! Need more examples? How about entire sample projects? Visit our Software Toolbox CodeCenter for a list of sample code using the INGEAR.NET.ABLink component.
