Using the MedicalViewerLoader with the DicomDirClient to load DICOM files into the Medical Viewer

This demos shows a new class we have introduced to handle most of the leg work involved in loading all files listed in a DICOM DIR into the MedicalViewer control.

You create the client object, give it a path to the DICOM DIR file, then pass the client object to the loader with a MedicalViewer. The loader will then take care of loading the files and inserting them into the MedicalViewer object as well as setting up tags within the MedicalViewer's cells.

You can read more about each of these classes from our help file:

MedicalViewerLoader:

We also have two other client classes you can use with the MedicalViewerLoader, the DbRetrieveClient and the PacsRetrieveClient. The DbRetrieveClient class allows you to load a series from a database. The PacsRetrieveClient class allows you to communicate with a remote PACS and retrieve the series from the PACS, putting it into the MedicalViewer.

Each of these classes are derived from the RetrieveClient class. You can derive from this class and create you own implementation as well to simplify the loading process.

The C# project was created in Visual Studio 2008.

Updated to LEADTOOLS v19 with Visual Studio 2017. Also changed project to automatically select dll's for running in 32-bit and 64-bit.
Extract folder to "C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Examples\DotNet\CS\" to use the example.
