This package Supports Windows 10 and above x64 Platform target. Can be used in Framework 6.x and above projects(7.x , 8.x , 9.x ...). See the following examples for quick start using
Add License to your applications exe
Registered users must also add VectorDraw Licence to their Applications. The license is added to the application by vdLic.exe and using the serial both provided by VectorDraw. If the license is not present then the package works in evaluation mode for 180 days. Edit the build events of your Application and add the followings to the .csproj file
<Target Name = "PostBuild" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
<Exec Command = ""$(VDRAWDEV)vdlic.exe" "$(TargetPath)"" />
</Target >
<Target Name="AddPayloadsFolder" AfterTargets="Publish">
<Exec Command = ""$(VDRAWDEV)vdlic.exe" "$(PublishDir)$(targetfilename)"" />

Example 1
View and Edit Drawings inside a 'Window Form App':
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
vdControls.vdFramedControl vd = new();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
vd.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add( vd );
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}
}
Example 2
Create simple entities and save to a drawing inside a 'Window Form App':
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
vdControls.vdFramedControl vd = new();
public Form1()
{
Application.SetHighDpiMode(HighDpiMode.SystemAware);
InitializeComponent();
vd.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(vd);
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
vdDocument doc = vd.BaseControl.ActiveDocument;
doc.New();//clear the document and initialize it to the defualt state with empty model entities
//create a new vdline
vdLine line1 = new vdLine(doc,new VectorDraw.Geometry.gPoint(0,0,0), new VectorDraw.Geometry.gPoint(2,2,0));
doc.Model.Entities.AddItem(line1);
vdCircle circle = new vdCircle(doc, new VectorDraw.Geometry.gPoint(1, 1, 0), 1.0);
doc.Model.Entities.AddItem(circle);
doc.ZoomExtents();
doc.Redraw(false);
//opens the Save dialog and prompts the user to select a file type to save the drawing
bool success = vdCommandAction.SaveAsEx(doc);
//alternate save it direct to a file type in local dist
//bool success = doc.SaveAs(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + @"/vectordraw.pdf");
}
