This change has been incorporated into the documentation in Release 2009a (R2009a). For previous releases, read below for any additional information:

It is possible to call MATLAB as an ActiveX server from C#. The required steps are:

1. Create your project in Microsoft Visual Studio .Net.

2. Add a reference to your project to the MATLAB COM object. This should be under Project->Add Reference... After you go there a dialog will popup. Choose the COM tab and find the MATLAB Application and add a reference to it.

3. You can then call MATLAB as shown in the files attached at the bottom of this solution. In the Form1.cs file, look for all references to the class instance "ml".
