Where can I get the iControl dll?

I have been using iControl.dll 11.5.0.0. Have finally upgraded to GTM version 12, planning on updating to 14 soon. My 11.5.0.0 version doesn't seem to work with GTM BIG-IP 12.1.5.2 Build 0.0.10 Point Release 2.

Can someone please point me to where I may download a newer iControl dll.

    Every question I have searched regarding where to actually download the latest iControl file is either 'no answer', OR none of the given links still exist.

    IS f5 GETTING OUT OF THE iControl BUSINESS?

    You can get it from here, https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/Microsoft-Powershell-with-iControl.

     

    I copy-pasted the download links below. Right click and save as, for the .msi installers install the .msi then you can grab the iControl.dll file from the install directory, for the zips just extract the folder or open the archive and grab the .dll

      Oh thank you Andrew! Not sure if this is it exactly, but it is a start. I am (at the moment) only interested in the SOAP version. I will unzip one of these and see if it has the whole package.

      I am having no success in writing SOAP iControl to the GTMs on version BIG-IP 12.1.5.2 Build 0.0.10 Point Release 2. Won’t stay initialized (not really sure it gets initialized). Did f5 stop supporting iControl SOAP for the new DNS structure in version 12.1? If it is still support, could you possibly give me some sample code that lists out the V2 pools?

      BTW, C# is what I have been coding. Perry Green Network Engineer Open Technology Solutions, LLC Office: 303 708 7196 Email: pgreen@open-techs.com www.open-techs.com<>

    Thanks again Andrew. I pulled out the iControl.dll, and dropped it in Visual Studio.

    Can you point me to some sample C# code that would give me a jump start on how to list out the V2, type A pools?
