This tutorial will guide you through creating a simple console application (a command line application) in VB.NET that integrates with Alibre Design through the Alibre Design API. A console application does not have a Windows GUI (Graphical User Interface) -- it is intended to be run from a command line (such as a C:\> prompt) or called from another application such as Macro Express. This is a beginner level tutorial.
