It is possible to integrate MATLAB with a C# project and pass in patient-specific .txt files dynamically using MATLAB COM Automation Server. This allows you to run MATLAB scripts/functions from your C# code. Please follow the below steps to achieve the same:
- Enable MATLAB COM Server: Ensure MATLAB is installed and registered as a COM server. Typically, it's available as: MWServer.Matlab
- Create the C# console application in your development environment. The reference to the MATLAB Type Library for C# is:
MLApp.MLApp matlab = new MLApp.MLApp();
Below is a complete code for C# Button handler:
using MLApp; // Add reference to MATLAB COM Object
private void btnOpenMatlab_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string txtFilePath = GetPatientTxtFile(); // Get path of selected patient’s ECG txt
// Start MATLAB session
MLApp.MLApp matlab = new MLApp.MLApp();
// Make MATLAB visible (optional)
matlab.Visible = 1;
// Change folder to location of your .m script
matlab.Execute(@"cd 'C:\Path\To\Your\MFiles'");
// Pass txt file path to MATLAB function (plotECG)
string cmd = $"plotECG('{txtFilePath.Replace("\\", "/")}')";
matlab.Execute(cmd);
}
You can find more details regarding using MATLAB functions from C# applications from this documentation:
I hope this helps achieve the desired functionality.
