I very much like being able to export a labview.vi to a .dll or .net interop library .dll. Our higher level automation is in C# and having access to labview.vi via .net .dll is great. However, the current build capability only allows a single prototype/method to be created. Consequently, I have to provide every input/output when invoking this single method. This can work but it's just inconvenient and not as obvious as being able to create multiple methods smaller things, e.g.
write setup values
write DAQ sample rates
start storing samples
stop storing samples
stop DAQs
write summary info
When I create a C# class, I can create any number of methods or properties to manipulate class data members. Exported labview.vi files should enable this too. NI AE said I could create parent.vi files (setup.vi, write_DAQ.vi, etc) that all include the actual vi of interest. These various vis could be added to the exported .vi list. And, this would indeed be a work around. But, this is a hack to get around this problem and the AE agreed. Instead, I would like to be able to define multiple methods/prototypes on a single exported .vi.
