Building the .NET sample applications

When you build a sample .NET application, an executable version of our chosen sample is created.


Before starting

Install the appropriate compiler. This task assumes that we have Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 installed, and that we are familiar with using it.


Procedure

To build a .NET sample application, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the Samples.sln solution file provided with the .NET samples.
  2. Right-click the solution Samples in the Solution Explorer window and select Build Solution.


Results

An executable program is created in the appropriate subfolder of the sample, either bin/Debug or bin/Release, depending on the configuration that we have chosen. This program has the same name as the folder, with a suffix of CS. For example, if we are building the C# version of the message producer sample application, SampleProducerCS.exe is created in the SampleProducer folder.
