TDLib C# example

This is an example of building TDLib with C++/CLI support and an example of TDLib usage from C#.

Building TDLib

Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or later.
Download and install CMake; choose "Add CMake to the system PATH" option while installing.
Install gperf, zlib, and openssl using vcpkg:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
git checkout bc3512a509f9d29b37346a7e7e929f9a26e66c7e
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg.exe install gperf:x64-windows gperf:x86-windows openssl:x64-windows openssl:x86-windows zlib:x64-windows zlib:x86-windows

(Optional. For XML documentation generation.) Download PHP. Add the path to php.exe to the PATH environment variable.
Build TDLib with CMake enabling .NET support and specifying correct path to vcpkg toolchain file:

cd <path to TDLib sources>/example/csharp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -A Win32 -DTD_ENABLE_DOTNET=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path to vcpkg>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ../../..
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --build . --config Debug
cd ..
mkdir build64
cd build64
cmake -A x64 -DTD_ENABLE_DOTNET=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path to vcpkg>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ../../..
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --build . --config Debug

Example of usage

After TDLib is built you can open and run TdExample project. It contains a simple console C# application with implementation of authorization and message sending. Just open it with Visual Studio 2015 or later and run.

Also, see TdExample.csproj for example of including TDLib in C# project with all native shared library dependencies.
