VixCOM Description

The VixCOM library was developed to wrap the VMware VixCOM-API into an object-orientated library in C# with IntelliSense support and exception throwing. The current implementation uses VIX-API 1.6.2 and allows automating common tasks of Virtual Machines. For a list of functions see the included help. Although the VIX-API provides a COM binding (called VixCOM) that can be used in .NET, the functions and especially their parameters look different from what we are used to in .NET languages (because the original API was written in C ). This library wraps the VixCOM-API and allows you to control VMs in a way you are familiar with, including full IntelliSense support in Visual Studio. The description of the functions and parameters was taken directly from the VMware VIX documentation and was also extended where appropriate. The functions of this library are implemented synchronously (that means they return when the action completes), which hides you from the need of using callback-functions or polling/blocking, like you had to with the original API.
