Abstract :
There are over 60 .NET languages available today (including their variants) but C# (pronounced C-Sharp) is probably the most common and best suited for ATE instrument driver development. This article will explore the many advantages of using C# over other languages for ATE driver development including reflection, exception handling, threading techniques, auto-implemented properties, partial methods, object initializers, and events. An emphasis will be given to GUI (Graphical User Interface) development as it applies to ATE interaction and maintenance. Software development techniques with code examples will be discussed.
