Three new products have been introduced since R14SP3:
MATLAB Builder for .NET Create MATLAB based .NET and
COM components
SimBiology Model, design, and simulate
biochemical pathways
SimEvents Model and simulate discrete-event
systems
MATLAB Builder for .NET
MATLAB Builder for .NET (also called .NET Builder) is an extension to the
MATLAB Compiler. Use MATLAB Builder for .NET to
• Package MATLAB functions so that .NET programmers can access them
from C#, VB.NET and C-n- with managed extensions, or any CLS-compliant
language.
• Create components that preserve the flexibility of MATLAB.
.NET Bmlder provides robust data conversion, indexing, and array
formatting capabilities. To support the MATLAB data types, .NET Builder
provides the MWArray class hierarchy, which is defined in the .NET BuUder
MW Array assembly. You need to reference this assembly in your managed
application to convert native arrays to MATLAB arrays and vice versa.
• Handle errors originating from MATLAB functions as standard managed
exceptions.
Error descriptions contain sp>ecific references to the MATLAB code, thus
simplifying the debugging process.
• Create COM components.
COM stands for Component Object Model, which is a software architecture
developed by Microsoft to build component-based applications. COM objects
expose interfaces that allow applications and other components to access the
features ofthe objects. COM objects are accessible through Visual Basic,
C-I-I-, or any language that supports COM objects.
