What are ways to generate .NET code from Matlab/Simulink?

I need to share my Matlab codes and algorithms to use for a .NET application. What are the different ways to get this done. I know that with the use of Matlab Compiler SDK we can build .NET apps. Any other way to do so without having Matlab Compiler SDK. I have licenses for Matlab and simulink Coder. It would be great if we can discuss limitations of the workarounds.

If you have MATLAB Coder license, you can try converting your MATLAB to C or C++, and then compile that generated C code inside your .NET project (or create a shared library and call it from .net).

Do we have any demo about how to do this? I am not much familiar with .NET or JAVA and this concept is quite new for me.

Hi @Shubham Patel,

As @Nathan S recommended, one option is to convert your MATLAB code into C. However, there are several other methods to integrate MATLAB code and algorithms into a .NET application:

• MATLAB Compiler: This tool allows you to share your MATLAB programs as standalone executables (.exe).
• MATLAB Compiler SDK: Building on MATLAB Compiler, this SDK enables you to create shared libraries (.dll, .so) for more versatile application integration.
• MATLAB Coder: This tool generates readable and portable C source code from your MATLAB code, facilitating integration into various environments.
