PDMS PML .NET Customization

Participants must have completed an AVEVA Basic Foundations Course and be familiar with the AVEVA Plant applications including AVEVA Marine or Plant and C# (or at least C/C++). Attendees must have knowledge of PML and object oriented programming and
should understand Microsoft’s .NET Framework. Some .NET framework knowledge is a plus, but not necessary.

PML II files can have one of these 3 extensions:

• PMLFRM: for graphical interfaces (forms)
• PMLFNC: for functions that doesn’t have a graphical interface
• PMLOBJ: for new objects (classes) created by the user

Students will learn how to write a .NET Addin and Control and expose it to use with PML.
As well as develop their own C# code and use them in PDMS.
Assumes a knowledge of C#
This course is designed to give an introduction to the AVEVA .NET customization. There is
no intention to teach software programming but provide instructions on how to customize the
AVEVA application using the .NET platform and the C# language
