Framework EDI with .NET 1.0

Framework EDI (version 5.2 and later) includes .NET components to support .NET EDI applications development. Although, you can still use the FREDI-COM component in a .NET client by using the interop.dll, we do not recommend this method because the interop.dll can become a bottleneck that could impede performance specially when processing larger EDI files.
For those already familiar with the FREDI-COM, you will find few and subtle syntactical changes in FREDI-NET component, but we recommend these changes because they improve performance. Below are sample VB.NET programs using FREDI-NET. (Please note how objects are assigned and disposed).
Also, when programming threading with the FREDI-NET component, you need to set the concurrency of the thread apartment as single threaded. Example in VB .NET, do the following:
t.ApartmentState = Threading.ApartmentState.STA
