	Hi guys! I am a beginner in Arduino and visual studio. I meet some problems. I installed the visual micro plugins on my Visual studio 2013. I would like to create GUI using visual C# to control the arduino. So the are there any other way to do so other than using the serial communication? Initially I think after I instiall this plugin I can add some arduino codes to the Visual C# project directly but it turn out to be a mistake.For example When I type " digitalWrite" but visual C# could not figure out. Is it impossible to do so? Actually similar problem happened when I try to do so on the CPP file. So are there any other easier way to use the arduino code directly on the visual studio project and what is the most proper way to form a GUI to control a arduino? Thank you ery much!

	Hi, The most common solution to give you direct access to pins etc. via C# is to load the Firmata library into the Arduino. Firmata provides simple access via Serial in a more friendly way. Open the Firmata example and upload to the Arduino. Then you can use C# to send serial requests to the Arduino. Might also be useful to take a look at Windows IoT for Arduino C# examples which uses the same system.
