Call MATLAB from .NET

Write .NET programs that work with MATLAB®

The MATLAB Engine API for .NET provides an interface between .NET programming languages and MATLAB. This API enables programs to launch MATLAB, evaluate MATLAB functions with arguments, and exchange data between MATLAB and .NET programs.

If you need to maintain existing .NET programs created for MATLAB R2022a or earlier that work with the Microsoft® Component Object Model (COM), see Write COM Applications to Work with MATLAB.

To access .NET libraries directly from MATLAB instead, see Call .NET from MATLAB.
