.NET Wrapper Solution Build Process

This guide is intended to show one way that the set of WLAN Toolkit C# wrappers can be converted into a Python invocable DLL utilized by pythonnet for WLAN test applications on the NI platform. This is an unofficial guide and should be used as a starting point for test developers who are tasked with keeping their Python code up to date with the latest version of WLAN Toolkit (abbreviated WLAN TK). Once created and called from code, it is recommended that the process described below be repeated to ensure that the latest features, bug fixes, and improvements become accessible to the program developer while taking care to document the process so that it will be consistently built and not result in any unintended “breakage” of legacy test applications written in Python by the same approach.

The National Instruments WLAN Toolkit for Generation and Analysis is published at the following location on the NI website: National Instruments .NET Support. The WLAN TK wrapper can be found in the table titled “Download .NET Source Code Wrapper APIs” and should reflect the latest released version. For example, today this is version 19.1 and downloaded by clicking this link: [niWLAN_DotNETWrapper_19.1.zip](http://ftp.ni.com/support/softlib/RF/NI WLAN/19.1/niWLAN_DotNETWrapper_19.1.zip)
