Sample VB.NET Project with steps

[bharathj84]

Unlike other many libraries available, this library doesnt have a "getting started with" kind of a guide. Installing the package looks clear but Since the name says "ToolBox" I expected much of the tools from toolbox. And as a standard, the runtime applications developed mostly requires the data to be read from PLC and converted to corresponding VB.NET datatypes. There is no document on creating optimal thread and "service" which can simply run in the background doing this job. The write operation I fount it too tedious because the human understandable VB.NET datatypes cant be casted directly to PLC address. There wont be any syntax error but there will be logical errors leading to some garbage values written - specifically while writing strings, wchar and LongDoubles to PLC. And TIA V17 onwards has a targetted security configurations, it will be better if there is a comprehenssive document which can simply give ideas on creating PLC connection service, creating read service for all datatypes correctly casted between PLC and VB.NET.
A similar support has been perfectly explained in https://github.com/S7NetPlus/s7netplus/tree/main.
Some supporting documentation for this library https://github.com/S7NetPlus/s7netplus/tree/main/Documentation is very helpful.
Something similar "Getting Started Guide" for PLC's & CNCs for this library will help a lot.
The codeplex links "http://siemensplctoolboxlib.codeplex.com/ " and "http://www.codeproject.com/KB/bugs/LoadDBF.aspx" have been removed. Atleast these could have given some idea.
