.NET objects expose properties and methods that other applications can access. You access an application by accessing an object associated with that application and setting a property or invoking a method of that object.

On the front panel or block diagram, right-click a .NET object and select Create»Property Node or Create»Invoke Node, and select a property or method from the shortcut menu to set a property or invoke a method for the object. You also can select .NET-specific properties or invoke .NET-specific methods for a .NET object. On the block diagram, right-click a .NET object and select Create»Property Node or Create»Invoke Node, and select a .NET-specific property or method from the shortcut menu.

Note You cannot view and set .NET properties in a Property Browser as you can for ActiveX. You must set .NET properties using Property Nodes.
