Programming Example
The following programming example, written in Visual C# with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008,
demonstrates how to programmatically export a LonMaker drawing, create a LonMaker network with
XML, and then import the XML file into the LonMaker tool. The network created by this example
contains one device that is commissioned, two functional blocks, one network variable in each
functional block, and one connection that binds the network variables.

//Set the network name property to open the network
m_lmXml.NetworkName = "MyNetwork" ;
// **Insert export automation properties before invoking the send command
//Make plug-in visible so it shows itself
m_lmXml.Visible = true ;
//Export LonMaker drawing to XML file
//Invoke the send command to specify the action and target
//object. The send command uses the following syntax:
//(23, 5, “network/system/subsystem[/subsystem…])”
m_lmXml.SendCommand(23, 5, "MyNetwork/MyNetwork/Subsystem 1" );
