SmartPlant Client.Net installs several pieces of example source code to help internal and external developers integrate publishing tools with SmartPlant. These working source code examples allow a developer to step through the code while running it in a development environment and see how the different parts of code work together.
SmartPlant Test Tool.Net does most of the things done by any tool enabled to work in an integrated SmartPlant environment. Therefore, it is useful not only for testing SmartPlant Client, but also as a model for learning how to make other tools be SmartPlant-enabled.
The example source code of interfaces and constants from SmartPlant Client assemblies
may change or disappear from one version to the next. Therefore, use only the interfaces
and constants described in the documents for SmartPlant Common UI, SmartPlant Adapter,
and Schema Component.
