Using TOP Server with Visual Studio .NET

[PDF version here]

The best way to get TOP Server information into your custom Visual Studio.NET project is via OPC.  Whether you want to use OPC DA technology using COM interfaces or the latest OPC UA, the best method to use is an off-the-shelf .NET development product for OPC connectivity which is tested and supported.

Software Toolbox offers a number of OPC DA tested client tools for your Visual Studio.NET development environment including sample code to get you started.

OPC Data Client is a 100% managed .NET tool for developing OPC DA, OPC UA and OPC A&E client applications, with native support for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems in Visual Studio .NET winform or webform applications.

You can also create your own driver and use the Custom Interface Driver to connect your application right to the TOP Server, exposing your data via the native OPC DA and OPC UA included.
