SNMP Coding

Hi all,

I am involved in a SNMP programming project using C++. I am familiar with
the SNMP and MIB concepts, but some aspects of the coding are not clear to
me yet. Can anyone please, answer the following questions or point me to
some online resources?

1-What is the role of MIB in the development of SNMP application (coding) ?
2-Should we use MIB for code generation?
3-Can we code without MIB?
4-What is the role of MIB while the SNMP agents and SNMP mangers are
running? are they required?

Thank you very much.

John
