A target system adapter manages the communication between a Data Validator system and an application that receives the exported data. The SmartPlant Foundation target system adapter uses Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), which can be implemented on a Windows platform using the .NET language.
A sample project using a custom target system adapter implementation is supplied to help you with your implementation. The supplied project hosts the WCF service inside a windows forms application, so Internet Information Services (IIS) is not required.
