To use this interface, build Haru as a shared-library (DLL) or use binary
package for win32.
There are some example programs in demo directory. The steps to run the
demonstration programs is as follows.
1. Build libharu as a shared library and copy libhpdf.dll to "if\vb.net\demo"
directory. (Or expand binary package for win32)
and copy libhpdf.dll to "if\vb.net\demo" directory.)
2. Compile and run demo programs. (Don't forget to compile hpdfvb.vb together.)
vbc /out:FontDemo.exe FontDemo.vb ..\hpdfvb.vb
FontDemo.exe
vbc /out:ImageDemo.exe ImageDemo.vb ..\hpdfvb.vb
ImageDemo.exe
vbc /out:LineDemo.exe LineDemo.vb ..\hpdfvb.vb
LineDemo.exe
vbc /out:OutlineDemo.exe OutlineDemo.vb ..\hpdfvb.vb
OutlineDemo.exe
vbc /out:Encryption.exe Encryption.vb ..\hpdfvb.vb
Encryption.exe
vbc /out:Permission.exe Permission.vb ..\hpdfvb.vb
Permission.exe
vbc /out:RawImageDemo.exe RawImageDemo.vb ..\hpdfvb.vb
RawImageDemo.exe
vbc /out:TextDemo.exe TextDemo.vb ..\hpdfvb.vb
TextDemo.exe
NOTE:
If you try to compile this examples in Visual Studio I've found that I had to place
the 'hpdfvb.vb' in the 'demo' folder, and I also had to change the default namespace
for the project to 'empty' such that it found the hpdf namespace defined in that module.
I've also successfully been able to compile just the hpdfv.vb as an assembly DLL, then used
the 'Add Reference...' feature in Visual Studio to import the module as a utility so that
I didn't need to include the actual 'hpdfvb.vb' source file into my projects.
NOTE:
libhpdf.dll is required to run the program which uses the VB.Net interface for libharu.
This interface should work for all versions of .NET (1.1, 2.0, 3.5 etc.).
