.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.Logix component. The name of the file to add will be "INGEAR.NET.Logix.dll" and will be located in the INGEAR.NET.Logix installation directory 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, Path, and Tag Name as needed): Dim m_nResult as Integer Dim ignController As New Logix.Controller Dim ignTag As New Logix.Tag ignController.IPAddress = "127.0.0.1" ignController.Path = "0" m_nResult = ignController.Connect() ignTag.Controller = ignController ignTag.Length = 1 ignTag.Name = "YourTagAddress" m_nResult = ignController.ReadTag(ignTag) txbValue.Text = String.Format("{0}", ignTag.Value) ignController.Disconnect() 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.Logix component.
