F5 iControl Assembly

The iControl Assembly is a .NET Assembly that you can include in your .NET iControl applications. The embedded Interfaces class takes care of all the grunt work that goes along with setting up and writing iControl apps. In the past integrating iControl into an application entailed compiling wsdl (either directly with wsdl.exe or indirectly with a Web Reference), writing certificate validation logic, dealing with UserCredential objects, and hooking them all together.

With the iControl Assembly, here's all you need to do to get your app rolling:

-- Add the iControl.dll as a reference in your project.
-- Create a Interfaces object.
-- Supply the Interfaces object with the appropriate F5 BIG-IP LTM address, username, and password.

From there, you can begin rapidly developing iControl applications that help integrate your Microsoft-based applications with the underlying network fabric.
