Sample Programs
LEADTOOLS supports your programming endeavors with thousands of code snippets, function examples, tutorials, and demo programs. In addition, LEADTOOLS WPF Functionality is demonstrated with XAML-only examples.
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\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS EVAL 15\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\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS EVAL 15\Examples\Dotnet\).
For Example:
- The BitmapSourceViewerDemo shows the functionality of the WPF Standard edition BitmapSourceViewer class. It allows you to load, display, scroll, zoom, magnify, and pan images, and demonstrates user interface tools.
- The RasterImageViewerDemo shows the functionality of the LEADTOOLS SDK RasterImageViewer class. It allows you to load, display, scroll, zoom, magnify, pan and save images, and demonstrates user interface tools.
- The ImageListDemo shows the functionality of the ImageList control.
- The BitmapEffectsDemo demonstrates all of the LEADTOOLS Bitmap Effect classes, allowing you to apply each of them to an image.
- The AnimateEffectDemo shows how to animate a LEADTOOLS Bitmap Effect class.
- The PhotoGalleryDemo combines the BitmapSourceViewer and BitmapEffects to create a PhotoGallery.
- Specific demo project source code references for each LEADTOOLS component and platform are listed in the Getting Started section, above.

Tutorial (Model) Programs
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. For a complete listing, click the Tutorials link under See Also - Programming References, below.
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.
