Calling the NAG Library from .NET

Calling the NAG Library from Microsoft .NET

Fast and efficient algorithmic capabilities

NAG provides two software solutions for users of the Microsoft .NET framework to access the extensive mathematical and statistical algorithms in the NAG Library. NAG's fast and efficient algorithms enhance application capabilities and reduce crucial development time.

Solution 1

.NET Declarations

For most new projects we recommend using the declarations for .NET, available to download as source. These are usable with Framework 4 and also current .NET Core releases such as .NET 5. To use the .NET declarations you will need the NAG Library installed on your computer.

.NET includes classes that provide declarations that allow managed .NET code to access functions from a native compiled library such as the NAG Library.

The declarations are provided in C# and VB.NET syntax in several formats eg `flcsdnet64.cs` which are the C# declarations for 64bit Windows, using 32bit integers, see the Documentation and Examples links, below.

Solution 2

NAG .NET Library

For the older Windows .NET Framework 4, NAG supplies the NAG .NET Library. This is supplied as a compiled library with around 500 methods based on Mark 24 of the NAG Library, fully documented with examples for each case.
