Hi -
Do you have sample C# code that gets the SDK version (of Core API)?
I'm looking to have the return expressed as xx.xx.xx.xx (7.0.324.3).
Thanks.

Re: How to get SDK version in C# ?
Hello Whoit,
I believe this is the thing you need:
https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... APIVersion
And a sample on how to use the code is given for the Editor layer here:
https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... APIVersion

Hi Stefan -
Thanks - I found the API before, but the problem is that the sample is in C++
and I was looking for a C# sample.
Do you have that?
Thanks.

Hello Whoit,
Well we don't have the C# sample for this method. The C++ sample is pretty straightforward and easy to understand with moderate programming skills so I don't see a problem here.

Alex

Re: How to get SDK version in C# ?
I must be missing something then, because when I look at the example code and read the description,
it appears to take in 4 separate values (1,2,0,0) and pack them into a single ULONG:
The example even states:
But what I'm trying to do is get the release version "7.0.324.3"
it appears to take in 4 separate values (1,2,0,0) and pack them into a single ULONG:
Code: Select all
#define MAKE_API_VERSION(majver, minver, build, subbuild) ((majver) << 24) | ((minver) << 16) | ((build) << 8) | (subbuild)
#define REQ_VER MAKE_API_VER(1, 2, 0, 0)
bool IsValidSDK(PXV_Inst* pInst)
{
ULONG nVer;
pInst->get_APIVersion(&nVer);
return (nVer >= REQ_VER);
}
The Core API "APIVersion" returns a long: "17367040"....As a result, for example, current version (1.2.0.0) of the SDK will have a value: 0x01020000
But what I'm trying to do is get the release version "7.0.324.3"

Hello Wayne,
Well, the 17367040 in decimal is 0x1090000 in hex (the 0x means hex in numeric values)...
As for the version that you want - you should obtain it directly from the dll. Here's a link that should help:

Re: How to get SDK version in C# ?
Hi Alex -
Regarding the hex value, I was pointing out that the sample code does not get the version, it sets the version
and does so by packing the four integers supplied (1,2,0,0) into a single ULONG which is shown as hex 0x1020000.
Converting the value returned from the APIVersion call (17367040) into hex does not yield an accurate value.
So, I'm not certain what the value returned from APIVersion (17367040) is...
If there's a way to convert it to "7.0.324.3", that's great - but if there is no relationship between the two values, then
I don't understand what APIVersion returns.
As for the .Net - here's some code to produce the exact output I'm looking for, in case anyone else needs it:
Thanks.

Debug.WriteLine("File: " + myFileVersionInfo.FileDescription + '\n' + "Version number: " + myVers);

Re: How to get SDK version in C# ?
Hello Wayne,
The API version is changed when some new methods/properties are added to the interfaces. So basically you can check whether something new was added or not.

Alex

Basically the version here is 1.9.0.0, while the code sample version was still 1.2.0.0Well, the 17367040 in decimal is 0x1090000 in hex
