Rapid miner extending to Visual basic

Hi,

I must admit that I don't really understand the question, but I'll try to provide an answer anyway.
If you are asking whether you can use Visual Basic to prepare/fetch/load/etc some data and then save it somewhere and then have a RapidMiner process load it, sure, why not.
But you could also use a Visual Basic script to execute a java program which does the required preparation and process execution.

Hi,

sorry that i give the unclear question, my mean is controlling rapid miner through VB, accessing rapid miner datasets through VB, and using rapid miner data to make reports. An example of a report that was automatically created with this method. Save as doc. or excel. 

"If you are asking whether you can use Visual Basic to prepare/fetch/load/etc some data and then save it somewhere and then have a RapidMiner process load it, sure, why not."

If rapid miner have the such way, may i know if there have any tutorial for me to refer it?

Thank you.

Hi,

RapidMiner is written in Java, so if you want to do stuff with it via VisualBasic, your best bet probably is to create a java program that handles everything you need and save it, and then execute it via a VB script later. Or you can prepare data via VB, then save it in a format RapidMiner can read (for example .cvs or excel, etc.) and then execute a RapidMiner process via the aforementioned method.
I don't know of any way to access Java objects via VB, however my last experience with VB is at least ten years old

Hello

You could perhaps use a Groovy script and the Scriptom module.
