GenerativeComponents Help

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 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 GenerativeComponents is an assembly file.

it is recommended you develop and test your new node classes in Visual Studio, and then load them into GenerativeComponents as pre-compiled assemblies.
