Below are simple tutorials to help you get started with using the Synthesis API. The tutorials assume some basic working knowledge in VBA or .NET programming, and general familiarity with Synthesis applications.


Referencing the Synthesis API Library File

To use the ReliaSoft API in your code, you must reference the ReliaSoft API library in your VBA or .NET projects. The file is located in the folder where the ReliaSoft desktop applications are installed. By default for Version 2023, this folder is at "C:\Program Files\ReliaSoft\ReliaSoft 2023." For VBA, you will use the ReliaSoftAPI23.tlb file; for .NET applications, you will use the ReliaSoftAPI23.dll file.

To reference the library in VBA:

  1. Enter the VBA environment by clicking the Visual Basic command on the Developer tab (If the Developer tab is not visible, see this Microsoft article).
  2. In the VBA environment, choose Tools > References.
  3. Click Browse and find the ReliaSoftAPI23.tlb file on your computer. Click OK.

To reference the library in Visual Studio:

  1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the References node of your project and choose Add References.
  2. In the Reference Manager window, click the Browse tab and find the ReliaSoftAPI23.dll file on your computer. Click OK.
  3. Edit your project file, either directly using any text editor, or by right-clicking your project and choosing Unload Project, then right-clicking your project again and choosing Edit Project File
  4. Insert the following line just before the last </Project> clause (change the path if necessary):
<Import Project="C:\Program Files\ReliaSoft\ReliaSoft 2023\ReliaSoftAPI.targets" />
This will ensure the required files are copied into your project’s destination folder during the build.
  1. Save the project file. If you unloaded the project in step 3, right-click the project and choose Reload Project.
