title: How integrate a linear programming solver like CPLEX in VB.NET?
body: <p>I want to solve a linear programming model which is build through VB.NET. In this context I have following questions,</p>
  
  <p>a) How to call a CPLEX or any such solver (Coin-OR) through VB.NET?
  (While doing so I do not want CPLEX window to be opened. i.e. It should solve it in the background.)</p>
  
  <p>b) How to transfer the LP model to CPLEX? (Again I want to stay away from opening a new window and then write the model to CPLEX)</p>
  
  <p>VB.NET understanding: Intermediate   </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
