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 IntellSense 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\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 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.

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. 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.

LEADTOOLS Documentation

LEADTOOLS is committed to fully documenting its products. Please feel free to contact us with any errors or omissions. The Send Comments link at the top of each page will automatically note which page you are viewing when you send the comment.

Microsoft HTML Help 2.0 (.hxs) files for the .NET platform are installed with your product. Help files are found on the installation path in the \Help\Dotnet subdirectory (for example, C:\Program Files\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS EVAL 15\Help\Dotnet).
