This manual assumes that you are an ABL application developer who wants to access .NET objects from your ABL applications, especially for building an OpenEdge GUI for .NET. You should be familiar with object-oriented programming and .NET concepts, and you should also be familiar with object oriented programming using ABL. You can find a description of ABL support for object-oriented programming in OpenEdge Development: Object-oriented Programming. The present manual and related ABL documentation describes .NET objects and their members from an ABL perspective. However, you need to review the native .NET documentation to fully understand how related .NET objects and their members function within a .NET class hierarchy. While doing so, this manual should provide the information necessary for you to interpret any native .NET documentation in an ABL context.
