Re: Profinet project/driver with similar ease as Advanced HMI?

Hello again ! - sorry.. I meant to ask this:
I would really like to connect AdvancedHMI to a shedload of Siemens s7-1214 plcs which I have on the network (ethernet).
I was reading about the Snap7 drivers and have downloaded what was posted - but I am not very good with VB and I do not know how to integrate the Snap7 stuff into AdvancedHMI project... I wasnt sure if it was simply a case of ADDING NEW item to the project and selecting the "SiemensCom.vb" file and copying the 2 dll files into a certain folder.
I do not know if the Snap7 and SiemensCom stuff add any new objects to the toolbox, or a new comms driver to the list of choices, or if I have to copy paste some code into the project itself (using IMPORT or INHERIT function code ?)
Apologies ! - I wish I knew more about VB programming - but any advice about getting AdvancedHMI connected to Siemens S7-1200 plcs would be great !
THanks,
Steve
