<p>
The C# support is built by a separate Visual Studio
solution and requires version 2.0 (or higher) of the .NET
platform. If the Berkeley DB utilities are required, build
Berkeley DB first following the instructions under <a class="xref" href="build_win.html#win_build32" title="Building Berkeley DB for Windows">Building Berkeley DB for Windows</a>.
</p>
<p>
To build the C# API in Visual Studio 2010 the solution is
<code class="filename">build_windows\BDB_dotnet_vs2010.sln</code>;
in Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 the solution is
<code class="filename">build_windows\BDB_dotnet_vs2012.sln</code>;
and in Visual Studio 2015 the solution is
<code class="filename">build_windows\BDB_dotnet_vs2015.sln</code>.
</p>
<p>
By default, the solution will build the native
libraries, the managed assembly and all example programs.
The NUnit tests need to be built explicitly because of
their dependence upon the NUnit assembly. The native
libraries will be placed in one of the following
subdirectories, depending upon the chosen configuration:
</p>
<table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list">
<tr>
<td>
<code class="filename">build_windows\x64\Debug</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code class="filename">build_windows\x64\Release</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code class="filename">build_windows\Win32\Debug</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code class="filename">build_windows\Win32\Release</code>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
The managed assembly and all C# example programs will
be placed in one of the following subdirectories,
depending upon the chosen configuration:
</p>
<table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list">
<tr>
<td>
<code class="filename">build_windows\AnyCPU\Debug</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code class="filename">build_windows\AnyCPU\Release</code>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
The native libraries need to be locatable by the .NET
platform, meaning they must be copied into an
application's directory, the Windows or System directory,
or their location must be added to the PATH environment
variable. The example programs demonstrate how to
programmatically edit the PATH variable.
