Overview

JADE classes, properties, methods, and class constants are exposed using the .NET Exposure Wizard in the JADE development environment. For details, see Chapter 17 of the JADE Development Environment User’s Guide.

The exposure generates C# class files that correspond to the exposed JADE classes. These exposed classes are then built into a .NET class library. You can then use this class library in .NET applications to access, create, and update JADE objects in the JADE database.

The generated class library and your application can use the JADE .NET application programming interface (API) contained in the JadeSoftware.Jade.DotNetInterop.dll file. This API uses the JADE .NET API to access the JADE database.

Any .NET application or library using the JADE .NET API must include references to the following DLLs that are found in your JADE binary directory (that is, bin).
