This project will become a full SimConnect interface in modern C#, not using old programming models with Windows handles and such.
There are three sub-projects:
- CsSimConnectInterOp is a non-managed C++ DLL that provides an interface to the static SimConnect library.
- CsSimConnect is the actual C# Class Library, using the .Net 5.0 platform.
- CsSimConnectUI is a test/demo app, showing how to use the library.
You need to build the CsSimConnectInterOp.dll project using Visual Studio 2019, but once you have that, you can build the C# parts
also from the commandline using the .Net 5.0 SDK.
From the commandline, use the provided "publish.cmd" script:
C:\dev\FS\CsSimConnect>.\publish
C:\dev\FS\CsSimConnect>rd /s /q dist
The system cannot find the file specified.
C:\dev\FS\CsSimConnect>md dist

C:\dev\FS\CsSimConnect>copy x64\Release\CsSimConnectInterOp.dll dist\
1 file(s) copied.
C:\dev\FS\CsSimConnect>dotnet publish -o dist --force -c Release -p:PublishReadyToRun=true --self-contained false -r win10-x64

The .Net runtime is not included, so you need to install that first.
