To create a view

1. Start Reflection 2011, create a session document, and connect to the host.
2. Name and save the session document to a trusted location, and then close it, but leave Reflection 2011 running.
3. In Visual Studio, create a new Console Application project.
4. In the New Project dialog box, type Make Session Visible in the Name box.
5. Select the Create directory for solution box, click Browse to select your API projects folder (for example, C:\MyProjects), and then click OK.
6. In Solution Explorer, add the class assemblies. (For instructions, see Create an API Project.)
7. Copy the code from one of the following programs:

   Make Session Visible (IBM)

   //This sample code is intended to illustrate a concept, and it shows only the code that is relevant to that concept.

   //It may not meet the security requirements for a specific environment, and it should not be used exactly as shown.

   //We recommend that you add security and error-handling code to make your projects more secure and robust.

   //Attachmate provides this sample code "AS IS" with no warranties.

       }

     }

   }

8. In Visual Studio, paste the code to the Program.cs tab, replacing all existing code.

   This program includes the following calls to get View and Frame objects:

   IView sessionView;

   IFrame theFrame = (IFrame)reflectionApplication.GetObject("Frame");

   sessionView = theFrame.CreateView(terminal);

9. In the code, change the parameter for reflectionApplication.GetControlsByFilePath to the complete path of your saved session document. Between the quotation marks, type the path exactly as it appears, including the drive letter (for example, C:\), any spaces, and the filename and extension of the session document.
10. Build the application (Build > Rebuild Solution) and then run it (Debug > Start Without Debugging).

    A new session document should appear in the Reflection 2011 workspace.

    Note: To re-create a View object after closing it, you must first re-create the control object that will be associated with the View.
