Adding Context SDK to a project
As Context SDK for Windows is a C# DLL, this example is based on a small C# application. If you are starting a project from scratch, you can follow this guide exactly. If you are importing Context SDK for Windows into an existing project, this guide provides helpful hints on how to get started.
- Create a new or use an existing C# project.
- Right-click on the References node under the project in Solution Explorer to bring up the Reference Manager, choose Browse on the left pane and then click the Browse button on the bottom.
- Locate and select the ContextSDK for Windows DLL on your file system.
Note: Context SDK for Windows is only supported as a 64-bit assembly. Attempting to use Context SDK from a 32-bit or AnyCpu assembly will result in an exception.
