can I get instructions how to get things working?
I figured out that it is something about .NET. I do not have any experience in that (in java, C++, VB I do), so it might be useful to get 'take-off' suggestions.
How can I compile example to make it working for instance?

you can use MSVS 2005 studio for .NET C# OEC API sample, or download COM API with C++ and Delphi samples.

Then open a project file in the desired IDE and compile it.

I had no problem using either the .NET/C# or COM/C++ samples. However, I wasn't sure how to integrate the COM API with my own project. I just happened to make it work by importing the libid that was used in the sample project and copying the OECAPIEvents.h header file, however I have a feeling that wasn't the best way to do it. Should there be a way in MSVC 2005 that will generate the appropriate libid line and header file from the COM API DLL?

as far as I know there is no automated way to generate libid line, but you can use #import "oecapicom.tlb" to avoid using LIBID.

The OECAPIEvents.h file is not generated by MSVC - it is provided by OEC for convenience. You can wirte your own implementation if needed.

Thank you for clearing that up. I think that would have helped me getting started quicker knowing to use #import "oecapicom.tlb" and the OECAPIEvents.h file.
