This repository contains basic read, write and export samples for the CadLib.NET trial version.
For these applications to work you will need a trial license. The MyAppKeyPair.snk linked in the projects are not present in the repository, you should generate your own strong name key and keep it private.

You can generate a strong name key with the following command in the Visual Studio command prompt:
sn -k MyKeyPair.snk -
The next step is to extract the public key file from the strong name key (which is a key pair):
sn -p MyKeyPair.snk MyPublicKey.snk -
Display the public key token for the public key:
sn -t MyPublicKey.snk -
Go to the project properties Signing tab (or Build -> signing in VS2022), and check the "Sign the assembly" checkbox, and choose the strong name key you created.
