minimal.cs

This example can be found in examples\csharp\minimal\minimal.cs. When the PST SDK has been installed through the PST Software Suite installer the examples can be found in the Development folder.

This is a bare minimum example showing how to connect to the PST SDK and how to register a listener to receive data.

Note that for simplicity reasons, this example does not take the recommended safety precautions to shut down the PST Tracker when the application shuts down. In an actual implementation, please follow the safety precautions recommended in the Safe Tracker Termination section of the Using PST SDK page of the manual. Examples of how to implement the safety precautions can be found in the other examples.

When compiling and running this example, please make sure that the required dependencies can be found by the executable (e.g. by copying the Redist directory into the build directory. When the PST SDK has been installed through the PST Software Suite installer the Redist folder can be found in the Development folder.).
