Sample Programs
LEADTOOLS supports your programming endeavors with thousands of code snippets, function examples, tutorials, and demo programs. In addition, LEADTOOLS ships with IntellSense Code Snippets that are integrated into the Visual Studio 2005 IDE. For more details, refer to LEADTOOLS IntelliSense Code Snippets
Demo Programs
LEADTOOLS demo programs showcase LEADTOOLS core features, and demonstrate some of the simple, yet powerful applications that can be produced with LEADTOOLS. All LEADTOOLS demos come in C# and VB.NET versions.
Demo Executables
LEADTOOLS demo executables show and allow you to manipulate basic toolkit functionality through a simple user interface. Demo executables are found on the installation path in the appropriate platform subdirectory of the \BIN\ folder (for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS 16.5\Bin\DotNet\).
Demo Project Source Code
LEADTOOLS includes complete demo project source code for hundreds of LEADTOOLS features, (including those shown in demo executables). This enables you to see, manipulate, and copy demonstrated program functionality. Demo project source code is found on the installation path in the appropriate platform subdirectory of the \EXAMPLES\ folder (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS 16.5\Examples\DotNet\).
For Example:
- The MainDemo shows the common functionality in the LEADTOOLS for .NET toolkit. It allows you to load/save images in the various image formats supported by LEADTOOLS as well perform image processing operation on them.
- The DatabaseDemo shows how to store and retrieve LEADTOOLS images into/from a database.
- The ThumbnailBrowserDemo shows how to build a basic application that generates thumbnails for images reside on disk.
- The PrintPreviewDemo shows how to print the LEADTOOLS images efficiently and fast using the standard .NET printing mechanism.
- Specific demo project source code references for each LEADTOOLS component and platform are listed in the Getting Started tables, under the topical headings at the bottom of this page.
Downloadable WPF and .NET Demos for LEADTOOLS core functionality are published to our website and updated using Microsoft ClickOnce technology. Additional demos are available under relevant subjects in LEADTOOLS Support Forums.
LEADTOOLS Video Trainers Getting Started video tutorials (with full audio voice-over) that walk through key coding tasks are hosted on the LEADTOOLS YouTube video channel.
For pointers to sample programs that demonstrate many features, see the table below:

\Examples\DotNet\CS\<XXXDemo> \Examples\DotNet\VB\<XXXDemo> |
Tutorial programs are straightforward, stepwise models that show useful solutions to practical problems. You can use these as a starting point, cut and paste code, or simply review them for highlights on how to write code for a specific feature or problem. Tutorial (model) programs are listed on the Introduction page for each Assembly. For example, Barcode Tutorials are listed at Introduction - LEADTOOLS.Barcode.
Examples and Code Snippets
The documentation for each LEADTOOLS function reference includes an Example at the bottom of each page, with additional code snippets as needed in the Comments section. Where appropriate, these are related back to the relevant Demo and Tutorial programs.
