== Quick Downloads ==
==Get Started==
=== Documentation ===
With the Phidget22.NET library, it's easy to create C# applications that work with Phidget devices.


*{{Phidget22API}} (Select C# from drop-down menu)
==C# Libraries==
===Nuget Package===
The Phidget22.NET library is available as a [https://www.nuget.org/packages/Phidget22.NET/ nuget package]. This is the recommend way to install and manage the Phidget22.NET library.


=== Example Code ===
====macOS Considerations====
Phidget devices running a HID USB stack require the installation of the macOS libraries or the standalone Phidget Control Panel ([{{SERVER}}/docs/OS_-_macOS download here]).


*{{SampleCode|CSharp|C# Examples}}
To determine what USB stack your Phidget device is on, navigate to the product page and then to the specification tab, and look for the ''USB Stack'' specification. If you are using a VINT device, navigate to the product page for the VINT Hub you are using.

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
Your main reference for writing C# code will be the {{Phidget22API}} Manual.
dotnet run
 
 
The following code snippets describe how to do various general tasks with Phidgets. You should be able to find places in the examples where these snippets exist, and modify them to suit your requirements.
 
==== Step One: Initialize and open ====
The Open() function opens the software object, but not hardware. So, it is not a guarantee you can use the Phidget immediately.
 
For example, if we were using an Digital Input as our device, the create and open calls would look like this:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=csharp>
using Phidget22;
using Phidget22.Events;
 
namespace Program
{
    class Code
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
 
                // Declare a DigitalInput object
                DigitalInput device = new DigitalInput();
 
                // Hook in any event handlers
                // ...
 
                // Open the device
                device.Open();
 
            }
            catch (PhidgetException ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Description); }
        }
    }
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
==== Step Two: Wait for attachment (plugging in) of the Phidget ====
To use the Phidget, it must be plugged in (attached). We can handle this simply by calling open with a number as a parameter in place of the basic open. This function works for any Phidget. This will block until a connection is made to the Phidget, or the specified timeout is exceeded:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=C>
device.Open(5000);
</syntaxhighlight>
</syntaxhighlight>


Sometimes, it makes more sense to handle the attachment via an event. This would be in instances where the Phidget is being plugged and unplugged, and you want to handle these incidents. Or, when you want to use event-driven programming because you have a GUI-driven program. In these cases, an event-driven code snippet to handle the attachment might look something like this:
|| [[Image:Language_csharp_cli_runcode.png|center|350px|link=https://cdn.phidgets.com/docs/images/f/f3/Language_csharp_cli_runcode.png]]
 
|-
<syntaxhighlight lang=CSharp>
|}
void attachEventHandler(object sender, Phidget22.Events.AttachEventArgs e) {
{
  Phidget attachedDevice = (Phidget)sender;
  int serialNumber = attachedDevice.DeviceSerialNumber;
  string deviceName = attachedDevice.DeviceName;
  Console.WriteLine("Hello Device {0},  Serial Number: {1}!", deviceName, serialNumber.ToString());
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
And the code to set up the event handler within the code opening your device might look like:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=CSharp>
//Code for -creating- device here....
 
device.Attach += attachEventHandler;
 
//Code for -opening- device here....
</syntaxhighlight>
 
==== Step Three: Do things with the Phidget ====
We recommend the use of event driven programming when working with Phidgets. This allows the program to execute other tasks until the Phidget generates a new event. You can hook a custom function into an event trigger like this, using a Digital Input Phidget as an example:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=csharp>
device.StateChange += input_change;
</syntaxhighlight>
 
The input_change method is defined as follows:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=csharp>
void input_change(object sender, Phidget22.Events.DigitalInputStateChangeEventArgs e) {
    textBox1.Text = "State: " + e.State;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Some values can be directly read and set on the Phidget. These functions can be used inside a polling loop as an alternative to event driven programming. The line inside the loop would be something like this, after which you could do something with the value:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=csharp>
bool val = device.State;
 
device.State = true;
</syntaxhighlight>
 
==== Step Four: Close and delete ====
At the end of your program, be sure to close your device.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=csharp>
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)  {
    Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        If device.Attached Then
            device.Close()
        End If
    End Sub
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Get Started

With the Phidget22.NET library, it's easy to create C# applications that work with Phidget devices.

C# Libraries

Nuget Package

The Phidget22.NET library is available as a nuget package. This is the recommend way to install and manage the Phidget22.NET library.

macOS Considerations

Phidget devices running a HID USB stack require the installation of the macOS libraries or the standalone Phidget Control Panel (download here).

To determine what USB stack your Phidget device is on, navigate to the product page and then to the specification tab, and look for the USB Stack specification. If you are using a VINT device, navigate to the product page for the VINT Hub you are using.
