' All Examples:

' Adapted to Visual Basic by Richard Henninger <richard@rghmusic.com> using

' a .net bridge to csound available at: https://csound6net.codeplex.com/

' Unlike the Python-based examples, the VB examples, like the C# examples

' are implemented as individual methods on a single class and executed

' from a Main Module console program that accepts an example's number to execute it.

' The class is implemented as a partial class to keep directory organization

' similar looking to the Python and C# examples.

' All VB examples are enclosed in Try/Catch/Finally blocks which insures proper

' release of system resources via the IDispose interface which the bridge supports

' even if an exception occurs.

' This provides the same orderly shutdown of csound enjoyed by C#'s "using" blocks.

' The first thing we do, assuming that csound 6.01 has been installed along

' with csound6netlib.dll, is add a project reference to csound6netlib.dll

' (further references to csound will be automatic if the environment PATH

' variable leads to csound itself) and to add the "Imports csound6netlib" statement

' to bring the library into our project.

' csound6netlib.dll is used as the bridge between .net managed code

' and csound's unmanaged "c" API's code.

' Remember to add an Imports statement so intelliSense and your code

' find csound 6's classes and methods.

Partial Public Class Examples

' Example 1 - Simple Compilation with Csound

' This is a barebones example for creating an instance of Csound,

' compiling a pre-existing CSD, calling Perform to run Csound to completion,

' then Stop and exit.

' Resulting wave file will be found in the current directory or in SFDIR if established

Public Sub Example1()

'Create an instance of the Csound object

Using c As New Csound6Net

'Compile a pre-defined test1.csd file, includes Start()

c.Compile(New String() {"test1.csd"})

'This call runs Csound to completion (saving Stop() for next example)

c.Perform()

End Using

End Sub

End Class
