In C#, instead of calling the AIO driver
function directly, call the class library method.
AIO driver functions are called from class library methods.
All the methods in the class library are defined with the name by omitting
the prefix [Aio] of the function name.
When using with C#, please use the method without prefix Aio.
For example, when using AIoInit function
Ret = aio.Init ( ・・・・
For example, when using AioSingleAi function
Ret = aio.SingleAi ( ・・・・
In general, an EXE application built with "Any CPU" specified in the [Active solution platform] item in the Visual Studio settings [Configuration Manager] window can be executed in both 64-bit environment and 32-bit OS environment.
However, when developing an EXE application that supports the .NET8 / .NET6 framework, it is necessary to be aware of the target OS.
Please refer ".NET execution environment for .NET6 or later" to know more details.
