Samples at {path to FIX Antenna .NET package}\samples in FIX Antenna .NET package demonstate how to use FIX Antenna libraries.

To create new application with FIX Antenna for Visual Studio 2010 follow next instructions:

1. Configuring project
   • Create new Console application project
   in Visual Studio (FIX Antenna
   • .
   NET supports Visual Studio 2010).Add a reference to proper
   • Remove all default references expect System

   If application is required to run 64-bit platform add it for Debug and Release configuration with Configuration manager:

   • Set manually platform target for application (x86 or x64).
     Next steps describe x64 case.
     
   • Add a reference FIXAntenna_net4.0.dll from package
   .
   For 32-bit platform:
   • ( {path to FIX Antenna .NET package}\lib\
   x32
   • x64\FIXAntenna_net4.0.dll
   
   For 64-bit platform: {path to FIX Antenna .NET package}\lib\x64\FIXAntenna_net4.0.dll
   • ).
     Make sure that property Copy Local = true is set.

   • Copy engine.properties file to your project from any of existing samples (or create it

   use 

   • using "FIXAntenna .NET" — Programmer's Guide).
     

   Write code in Main() function to initialize engine with this properties file:

    

   Code Block

   language	c#
   title	program.cs

   try {

   • Note: you can add engine.properties to project and set Copy to Output directory = Copy if newer property or use absolute path.

2. Working with code:
   
   • Declare the usage of com.b2bits.FIXAntenna namespace
   • Call FixEngine.Create with path to engine.properties as parameter in your application statup code.
   • Stop the engine before exiting the program

   Example:

   program.cs

    

   using com.b2bits.FIXAntenna;   //...   static void Main(string[] args) {     try     {         FixEngine.Create("engine.properties");

   //

   engine

   initialization

   initialization         //

   Your

   code

   code         //

   ...

   }

   catch

   (Exception

   ex)

   {

   {         Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());

   }

   finally

   {

   {         FixEngine.Instance.Stop();

   }

    

    

   Note: you can add this file to project and set Copy to Output directory = Copy if newer property or use absolute path.

   }

3. Configure properties file:

   • Correct LicenseFile parameter in engine.properties. There should be absolute or relative path with filename to the license file.
     Note:

    

   •  For Win32 platforms, the filename-separator character is "\\" or "/" in engine.properties
     LicenseFile for samples in FIXAntenna .NET package configured to root of the package (i.e {path to FIX Antenna .NET package}\engine.license). Make sure that your copy license before run samples.

   • Create directories

   :

   • logs and logs\backup in $(TargetDir) of your project.
     These directories can be configured by parameters LogDirectory and BackupDirectory in engine.properties and should be created manually.

   • Copy

   required V12*

   • required V12-vc10-MD*-x64.dll

   form 

   • from {path to FIX Antenna .NET package}\lib directory to $(TargetDir) of your project.

    

   • 
     

   (e.g.

   • V12-vc10-MD-x64.dll for

   x64

   • Release

   build; V12

   • 
     V12-vc10-MDD-

   x32

   • x64.dll for

   x32 Debug build and so on)

4. Make sure that your aplication uses opened ports.

5. Build and run application.

...

1. • Debug 

2. Troubleshooting:

   • If application not working correctly look to logs\engine_XXXX.log for [ERROR] and [FATAL] notes.

   • Make sure that your aplication uses opened ports.
