QuickOPC.NET allows you to develop using various development models. In this Getting Started chapter, we will present two of them:

• Making a first QuickOPC.NET application using Live Binding in Windows Forms (without any coding), and
• Making a first QuickOPC.NET application using traditional coding (imperative programming).

The Live Binding model also works with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF); for a related Getting Started see Making a first OPC Classic application with QuickOPC using traditional coding.

Other development models available are live mapping, and reactive programming (Rx).
