Hello

I'm trying to develop a school proyect using a 120-503244 ABB robot and a IRC5 controller
i have to do a 3D printer with the robotic arm 
i want to do a program in C# preferently, in which i can  import a g- code and sent it to the robot, or some function to send a rapid file to the robot
and some way at the same time to connect that C# program with pronterface software to be able to print

Now i have a C# program in which i can detected the controller and select the controller and start comunication with rapid, but the rapid program is on the flex pedant

this is the code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using ABB.Robotics;
using ABB.Robotics.Controllers;
using ABB.Robotics.Controllers.Discovery;
using ABB.Robotics.Controllers.RapidDomain;
using System.Threading;
