Create a Microsoft Visual Studio Project

4. Type the name of the project in the Name field (MainApp, for example).

5. Click OK. Your MainApp source shell is created.

Create a Reference to the Client Run-Time Library

2. Right-click MainApp and select Add Reference.

3. In the Add Reference dialog box, select the Browse tab. Browse to the MATLAB Production Server client runtime, installed at $MPS_INSTALL\client\dotnet. Select Mathworks.MATLAB.ProductionServer.Client.dll.

4. Click OK. Mathworks.MATLAB.ProductionServer.Client.dll is now referenced by your Microsoft Visual Studio project.
