This is the repository for Geosoft GX Developer support for .Net development. Refer to the documentation for more information.
Also see the Geosoft Inc. organization on Github for the other programming language specific repos.
Select a Release and download the source code compressed file. Extract to a folder (e.g. c:\geosoft_code\gxdotnet) on your system. This will contain the following sub-folders:
| Folder | Content |
|---|---|
| examples | C# examples |
| x86_references | Geosoft .NET dlls and xml, to be placed with your programs |
The build.proj and env.targets files contain MSBuild scripts that can be used to build the examples or launch Visual Studio with the correct environments defined.
Visual Studio Community 2017 is recommened for developers that do not yet have access to Visual Studio. It should also be possible to build using other toolsets (e.g. MingW), but this is neither tested nor supported.
The MSBuild scripts require the MSBuild Extension Pack.
The commands are intended to be executed under the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio
msbuild
msbuild /t:StartDevEnv
Then open examples\examples.sln.
All Geosoft assemblies are references from the Geosoft Desktop Applications bin directory.
The x86_references directory provide minimal assemblies necessary to build assemblies targetting x86. These assemblies cannot be used and is only neccessary to be able to use the Visual Studio Windows Forms Designer since Visual Studio is at this moment still an x86 application.
