Implementing a C-STORE AddIn

Choose File->New->Project from the menu.
In the New Project dialog box, choose either "Visual C#" or "Visual Basic" in the Projects Type List, and choose " Class Library" in the Templates List.
Type the project name as "SampleAddIn" in the Project Name field, and then choose OK. If desired, type a new location for your project or select a directory using the Browse button, and then choose OK.

In the "Solution Explorer" window right-click on the "References" folder, and select "Add Reference..." from the context menu. In the "Add Reference" dialog box, select the "Browse" tab and browse to the Leadtools for .NET "C:\LEADTOOLS 18\Bin\DotNet\Win32" folder and select the following DLLS:

             Microsoft.Practices.Unity

Press the OK button to add the above DLLs to the application.
In the "Solution Explorer" window right-click "SampleAddIn" and select Add->Class from the context menu. In the "Add New Item" dialog, type Module.cs in the "Name" field. Click "Add" to add the class to the project.

Open the Module.cs file and add the following using statements:

Open the Module.cs file and add the following using statements:

             using Leadtools.Dicom.AddIn.Attributes;
             using System.IO;

Define the module class as listed below;

                }
             }       
             
             When this add-in loads, the Load function is called by the LEADTOOLS PACS Framework. This class checks for the Images directory. 
             If the directory does not exist it is created by the addin.

To tell the server what we are interested in, we need to specify PresentationContextAttributes for the OnStore method. This will allow the server to build an association for use when a client connections. For this example we will only store CT images. Thus we need to enter the following attributes for the OnStore method:

Build the class library and take the output and put it in the AddIn directory of your previously created server.
If the server is running stop it. Start the server.
Connect and store a CT Image.
