RoboRIO .NET interop

[Greg McKaskle]

The .NET interop is mostly based around property and method nodes. This lets you connect to built assemblies, but not insert C# or other text code into the diagram.

If you are wanting to include some text programming, I have two different suggestions. The formula node is a pretty good subset of C. It lets you write equations, loops and conditional code too. It is nice to use when you already have an equation and don't feel like writing it with nodes.

I don't see the MathScript support in the palettes. The formula node is extensible and some other math languages and tools have plugged in, but they have to do it specifically for a platform, and I don't see it on linux.

A second approach would be to build some source into a library and call into it using a Call Library Function. If you use simple data types, it is not hard to accomplish. On the other hand, if you aren't careful, you can corrupt memory, crash, etc.
