The Example Program

A VB.Net (2005) sample program

When you run the installation (if you haven't, you should do so now) for the EasyHL7 Managed Code objects the program HermeTechManagedCode.exe is installed. This program is a simple walk-through demonstrating how to get started writing applications the EHL7MC20 objects. This program is heavily documented with many source code examples embedded directly into it. In addition in the folder where the program installed (default is <program files>\HermeTech\EasyHL7MC40\) you will find a compressed file called SourceCode.zip. This file contains all of the source code for the program in a Microsoft Visual Studio (VB.Net) 2005 project, including all resources, etc).

HermeTech Managed Code Walkthrough

One important point which the example application tries to drive home is that EVERY Application (no matter what kind, Windows App, Windows Service, Web Service, etc) which uses the EasyHL7MC40 objects 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.
