This document describes how to quickly integrate the Tencent Cloud TRTC SDK for C# on Windows into your project.

Development Environment Requirements

• OS: Windows 7 or above.
• Development environment: Visual Studio 2010 or above (v2015 is recommended).
• Development framework: .Net Framework 4.0 or above.

Integrating the TRTC SDK

This document uses the creation of a simple Winform project as an example to describe how to integrate the SDK for C# into a Visual Studio project.

Step 1. Download the SDK for Windows.

Download the SDK, decompress it, and open the files, including:

In the example in this document, you only need to import the C# version of the SDK files into the SDK directory.

Step 2. Create a project

Open Visual Studio and create a Winform application named TRTCCSharpDemo.

Step 3. Copy the files

Copy the extracted SDK folder to the directory where TRTCCSharpDemo.csproj is located.

If you only need the SDK for C#, you can delete the CPlusPlus directory under the SDK path.

Step 4. Modify the project configuration

Step 4.1. Add references

1. Find Configuration Manager in the Build directory of Visual Studio and open it.
   

2. Select New from the Active solution platform drop-down list and the New Solution Platform dialog box will appear.
   

3. Type or select the new platform and click OK.

4. Repeat substep 2 to substep 3 as needed to create solution platforms that need to be supported.

5. Open the folder where the TRTCCSharpDemo project is located and edit the TRTCCSharpDemo.csproj file with a text editor.

6. Add the following content to the <itemGroup> label in the TRTCCSharpDemo.csproj file:

   // Add references to different platforms
   <Reference Include="ManageLiteAV" Condition="'$(Platform)' == 'x64'">
        <HintPath>SDK\CSharp\Win64\lib\ManageLiteAV.dll</HintPath>
   </Reference>
   <Reference Include="ManageLiteAV" Condition="'$(Platform)' == 'AnyCPU'">
        <HintPath>SDK\CSharp\Win64\lib\ManageLiteAV.dll</HintPath>
   </Reference>
   <Reference Include="ManageLiteAV" Condition="'$(Platform)' == 'x86'">
        <HintPath>SDK\CSharp\Win32\lib\ManageLiteAV.dll</HintPath>
   </Reference>
   

Step 4.2. Add the copy command

1. Open the properties page of the TRTCCSharpDemo by selecting Solution Explorer > Right-click Menu of TRTCCSharpDemo Project > Properties.
2. Add the following command in Build Events > Post-build event command line to implement automatic copying of the .dll files of the SDK on different platforms to the run directory of the program after compilation is completed as shown below:

   set Platform=Win64
   SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
   if $(PlatformName)==x86 ( 
   set Platform=Win32
   )
   copy /Y "$(ProjectDir)SDK\CSharp\!Platform!\lib\*.dll" "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)"
   ENDLOCAL
   

Step 4.3. Modify the debugging environment
Open the properties page of the TRTCDemo, select Build, and set Platform to the solution platform in the top menu bar as shown below:

Step 5. Print the SDK version number

1. Add a label control in the designer of Form1.csas shown below:

2. Open the Form1.cs code file and add the following code:

   using System.Windows.Forms;
   using ManageLiteAV;   // 1. Add namespace reference
   
   namespace TRTCCSharpDemo
   {
           public partial class Form1 : Form
           {
                   public Form1()
                   {
                           InitializeComponent();
                           // 2. Get an `ITRTCCloud` instance and print the SDK version number
                           ITRTCCloud lTRTCCloud = ITRTCCloud.getTRTCShareInstance(); 
                           this.label1.Text = "SDK version : " + lTRTCCloud.getSDKVersion();
                           // 3. The `IRTTCCloud` instance needs to be manually terminated at the end of use
                           ITRTCCloud.destroyTRTCShareInstance();
                   }
           }
   }
   

3. Press F5 to run and print the version number of the SDK as shown below:
   

FAQs
