xfNetLink .NET is supported only on Windows platforms; however, you can create an assembly from Synergy routines that reside on Unix or OpenVMS and then use it in a Windows application.
To build a distributed system with xfNetLink .NET and xfServerPlus, you’ll need Microsoft Visual Studio. See the xfNetLink .NET release notes for the current version requirements. The Microsoft .NET Framework is installed with Visual Studio.
You’ll also need to be familiar with some .NET concepts. Here are some of the topics you may need to research:
- Public vs. private deployment of assemblies
- Versioning
- Signing
- Public and private keys
- Pooling
- The GAC (global assembly cache)
