This directory contains C# sample programs for various Ice components. These examples are provided to get you started on using a particular Ice feature or coding technique.
Most of the subdirectories here correspond directly to Ice components, such as Glacier2, IceBox, and so on. We've also included the following additional subdirectories:
-
Manual contains complete examples for some of the code snippets in the Ice manual.
Refer to the C++ demos for more examples that use the Ice services (Glacier2, IceGrid, IceStorm).
The projects for the sample programs require the Ice Builder for Visual Studio. Add this extension to Visual Studio before opening the solution.
Open the solution file CSharp demos.sln to build the sample programs.
The demos are configure to use Ice distribution from Nuget packages, this packages are automatically downloaded during build. If you have disabled the automatic download of Nuget packages in Visual Studio you need to restore the packages before you build.
Packages can be restored from "Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Manage NuGet Packages for Solution..." command in Visual Studio.
After restoring the packages right click on the desired demo in the Solution Explorer window and select "Build"
