API in VB dot NET

This is VB.NET class for connecting and working with Mikrotik API. It will give you basic connectivity so you can log in and send and receive commands.

Class

Example
Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim mk = New Mikrotik("mikrotik") If Not mk.Login("admin", "PpAaSsWwOoRrDd") Then Console.WriteLine("Cant log in") mk.Close() Console.ReadLine() Return End If mk.Send("/system/clock/getall", True) For Each row In mk.Read() Console.WriteLine(row) Next Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module
