The Example Program

A VB.Net (2005) sample program

When you installed (if you haven't, you should do so now) the EasyHL7 ActiveX Components a sample VB.Net (2005) project was also installed as well as the .Net DLL (EHL7_MC2005.dll). It was included as source code and also in it's compiled (exe) state.

EVERY Application (no matter what kind, Windows App, Windows Service, Web Service, etc) which uses the EasyHL7 objects for Visual Studio.Net should have the same basic 3 step 'Start-Up' sequence in their code.

1.	Verify that the objects are correctly registered, and if they are running with a DEMO license that it has not expired. If they are not registered (or the DEMO license has expired), take appropriate action to register or license the objects.

2.	Verify that EasyHL7 Vendor Definitions are installed in a folder which you can access, these can be either the 'Default' vendor definitions, or your own custom vendor definitions which you have exported and deployed with your application. If they are not, install or import them.

3.	Connect to, select and Open a Vendor definition with the HL7Vendor object.

This section will walk through the sample application and show how it touches on all of the main features of developing many different kinds of HL7 interfaces with the .Net objects.
