ctSetManagedBinDirectory

Allows a CTAPI consumer to specify from where it will load certain CTAPI dependencies (.NET managed dependencies).

Typically, this would be the Plant SCADA Bin directory (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA Plant SCADA\Bin). This is only required when the dependencies are not located in the same directory as the consuming application, see Running CTAPI Applications in the topic CtAPI for more details.

This function takes a single string containing a path. Calling this multiple times is safe. If a different path is specified it will replace the previous path; if the same path is specified then nothing will happen.

If called with a NULL or empty string, then any previous path will be removed and the default search order will be used.
