Using .NET

You can use .NET applications on Windows integration nodes to create, route, and transform messages by using the .NETCompute and .NETInput nodes.

About this task

.NET nodes use any Common Language Runtime (CLR) compliant language to create or modify the message, such as C#, Visual Basic (VB), F#, and C++/CLI (Common Language Infrastructure).

You configure a .NET node with a .NET assembly that contains the code of the node. The code consists of a class that is derived from the abstract class that is provided in the IBM.Broker.Plugin.dll assembly, for example, NBComputeNode.

The .NET assembly is run inside a .NET application domain. For more information, read .NET application domains.
