Can drivers built with Nimbus be used in .NET client applications?
Yes. The .NET platform provides rich support for integrating conventional COM components, like IVI-COM drivers. Wrapper components, known as interop assemblies, are used to access IVI-COM drivers from .NET clients, such as C# and VB.NET. The IVI.NET Working Group within the IVI Foundation has released interop assemblies for all of the IVI-defined instrument classes. Moreover, Nimbus provides built-in support for automatically generating interop assemblies for instrument-specific interfaces (those interfaces not defined by IVI).
