Precompiled Assembly Files and Source Code Files
A pre-compiled assembly file (*.dll) is a file that can be directly executed by the computer. It contains only binary information, which only a computer can understand. When you load a *.dll file into OpenBuildings™ GenerativeComponents, it is added to the code that is currently running as part of the application.
A source code file (*.cs or *.vb) is a file that was written by a person. You must compile it first into an assembly through Visual Studio® for instance. No matter which type of file you use, what ultimately must be loaded into OpenBuildings™ GenerativeComponents is an assembly file.
it is recommended you develop and test your new node classes in Visual Studio, and then load them into OpenBuildings™ GenerativeComponents as pre-compiled assemblies.
