.NET Programmer’s Checklist

When using the group facility, see also Programmer’s Checklist Addenda for Groups.

Environment

Set up the environment for .NET Framework 4.6.1.

TIBCO FTL classes require Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 for development.

TIBCO FTL software requires 64-bit support (in the operating system and .NET Framework).

Use the setup script in the samples directory to set environment variables.

In addition, ensure that the PATH environment variable includes the .NET Framework SDK (%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\dotnet_version).

Code

To simplify coding, programs can include this statement:

      using TIBCO.FTL;

Compile

TIBCO FTL classes require .NET Framework 4.6.1.

To use the TIBCO FTL classes, programs must reference the assembly TIBCO.FTL, which installs into the Windows general assembly cache (GAC).

The assembly TIBCO.FTL is compiled with platform target x64. You must compile applications that use TIBCO.FTL accordingly.

Run

TIBCO FTL classes require .NET Framework 4.6.1.

To use the TIBCO FTL classes, application processes must access the assembly TIBCO.FTL, which installs into the Windows general assembly cache (GAC).

The PATH variable must include the bin directory to use the TIBCO FTL DLL files.

You must arrange appropriate .NET security for your applications. The base library calls unmanaged code, and requires full trust.

Ensure that the realm server is running, and that each client process can connect to it.
