I am new to developing for UR and have had success just sending commands that move the robot from my C# application I am developing. However, currently I have to manually wait before continuing to the next step because I can’t seem to get meaningful information back out of the robot. I am currently using the primary client interface on port 30001, but trying to parse the information I receive from this is proving far too difficult. That being said, I want to swap over to RTDE so that I can manually just send back confirmation that a movement has finished before I continue my procedure. My main problem is that all of the RTDE code that is supplied is written in python, and I am having a very difficult time figuring out what all of the byte operations do when a command is sent out in this python code. Could someone give me a simple, detailed walk through of how I can send and receive commands and information with RTDE using the C# programming language? ---

Model your code in c# on a chat client and server . ---

Hi, See [Implementation of RTDE into C# - #2 by frederic.chaxel](https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/implementation-of-rtde-into-c/4661/2) Bye ---

I am looking through the implementation, but I am a bit confused by how to set the outputs. Do you type them in on the command line? What is the formating? ---

Hi, your code works for the most part the problem is i have to convert it to [vb.net](http://vb.net) , and your code is not documented, or commented. ---

Hi, You can creates a dll with the content of Rtdeclient.cs file. It can be referenced in a [vb.net](http://vb.net) application. Bye ---
