Campbell Scientific LoggerNet Server SDK - Manual (Page 14)

Section 1. LoggerNet Server SDK Overview
The C#.NET and VB.NET example code targets the x86
compilation platform to facilitate proper functionality on 64-bit
versions of Windows
® . Any new projects created on 64-bit
platforms should use this compiler directive, since the ActiveX ®
controls in the SDK must run in a 32-bit process on 64-bit
machines to work properly.
