Template:Language - C Sharp Editing the Examples

The C# examples are what comprise the Windows Phidget Control Panel, so you'll need to modify a few things to adapt them for your own purposes. To begin with, you can remove the following line:

commandLineData phidgetParameters = open.parseCmdLine(); //get command line parameters

Then, you can modify any line that mentions phidgetParameters by setting it to the desired value instead of using PhidgetParameters object.

For instance:

try
            { //set all the values grabbed from command line.  these values have defaults that are set in ExampleUtils.cs, you can check there to see them.
                digout.Channel = phidgetParameters.Channel; //selects the channel on the device to open
                digout.DeviceSerialNumber = phidgetParameters.SerialNumber; //selects the device or hub to open
                digout.HubPort = phidgetParameters.HubPort; //selects the port on the hub to open
                digout.IsHubPortDevice = phidgetParameters.isHubPortDevice; //is the device a port on a VINT hub?

                if (phidgetParameters.isRemote) //are we trying to open a remote device?
                {
                    digout.IsRemote = true;
                    Net.EnableServerDiscovery(ServerType.Device); //turn on network scan
                    if (phidgetParameters.Password != null && phidgetParameters.ServerName != null)
                        Net.SetServerPassword(phidgetParameters.ServerName, phidgetParameters.Password); //set the password if there is one
                }
                else
                    digout.IsLocal = true;

                digout.Open(); //open the device specified by the above parameters
            }
            catch (PhidgetException ex) { errorBox.addMessage("Error opening device: " + ex.Message); }

Might become:

try
            { 
                digout.Channel = 0;
                digout.DeviceSerialNumber = 370097;
                digout.HubPort = 0; 
                digout.IsHubPortDevice = true;
                digout.IsRemote = false;    
                digout.Open();
            }
            catch (PhidgetException ex) { errorBox.addMessage("Error opening device: " + ex.Message); }

You can then manipulate the rest of the code as your application requires. A more in-depth description of programming with Phidgets will be covered in the next section.
