Custom Tasks for SAS Enterprise Guide Using Microsoft .NET book cover Custom Tasks for SAS Enterprise Guide Using Microsoft .NET
By Chris Hemedinger

Chris Hemedinger's new book takes users step-by-step through the process of creating custom tasks (add-ins) for use in SAS Enterprise Guide. You'll learn about the services that the SAS Enterprise Guide framework offers, including access to data, ability to submit SAS programs, and integration of custom task results into the Enterprise Guide project. You will also learn from a variety of useful examples implemented in Microsoft .NET technology, using C# and Visual Basic .NET programming languages, including SAS. Important aspects of .NET programming, such as debugging, threading models, internationalization, and user interface design principles, will be introduced. The book contains two sections: The first presents the conceptual information about custom tasks, the tools needed to get started, and an overview of the APIs (programming interfaces) that you will use. The second section is a collection of complete (and useful!) examples that illustrate these concepts, plus other important techniques.
