yes, after finding it's C# i don't have any immediate questions. > But as you mentioned, their's is > a C# app, so things might be different there. > Can we write a C# helper and pass the information to our app? > > this is not that easy. we spoke about a similar scenario when the Win32 discussions started with Alex about UWP. if such a helper is to be built: - it has to be built using the Windows SDK and MSVC as standalone app and not as a library. - if we get it to work with an older dot-net version it's going to be OK, if not we need to force users to update their dot-net setup before using and if we don't want to redistribute the whole target dot-net. - given it cannot be built using MINGW, we need to create something like a TCP Socket protocol to make Subsurface communicate with the helper app. i'm not sure i'm liking where this is going. given the OSTC+ already works, i'd prefer if can we find another solution. lubomir -- _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
