To get started with using Harness proD API to create external programs or plugins, we recommended first looking at some existing examples.
Two examples of plugins and one example of an application using the API are included in the Harness proD installation.
The source files for all of these examples can be found in your install directory, in the folder Demo/Demo_API/. These examples are described in more detail here.
To use the API, you will need to reference the following assemblies:
For plugins, the following two assemblies are also required:
These assemblies can be found in your install directory, in the folder API.
The Harness proD API is created using the Microsoft® .Net 4.7.2 framework and written in language C#. It is highly recommended to write any plugins and API applications using Microsoft Visual Studio and language C#.
Applications which use the Harness proD API must be written as WinForm or WPF.
Standalone applications are distributed as an executable plus API DLL (EPLAN.Harness.API.dll).
Plugins are distributed only as the plugin DLL, no other files are required.
