The .NET Adapter allows you to call .NET assemblies written in any .NET-compliant language, such as C# and Microsoft Visual Basic .NET. The .NET Adapter requires you to install the .NET Framework in order to take advantage of its capabilities. Use the .NET Adapter Configuration dialog box to configure the .NET Adapter.

Note  To create or edit a .NET code module from TestStand, you must have National Instruments Measurement Studio 7.1 (or later) Enterprise Edition and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 or later installed. In addition, to step into a .NET code module directly from TestStand, you must have National Instruments Measurement Studio 8.0.1 (or later) Enterprise Edition and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or later installed. Refer to Chapter 5, Module Adapters, in the NI TestStand Reference Manual for more information about using the .NET Adapter with Microsoft Visual Studio.

When you specify a module for a step, the TestStand Sequence Editor displays the .NET Module tab and user interfaces launch the Edit .NET Call dialog box.
