    Key Principles

    The C# reference implementation will....

    1. Provide a reusable object model and libraries used to build concrete Direct integrations
    2. Proivde an "out of the box" installable servers on a single server.
    3. Be quality code that can credibly be used in the real world.
    4. Have no install dependencies other than what comes standard on Windows Server 2008 (build/test tools don't count, .NET 4.5 and SQL Express exempted).
    5. Be modularized so that implementors can easily replace any major component with their own implementation, or when appropriate extract components for use in their own codebases.
    6. Will not include any code that breaks the BSD license.
    7. Have clear structure and documentation that minimizes developer "jumpstart" time.

    Issue Forum

    • Issues that need to be addressed by the CSharp Reference Implementation Team should be submitted here.

    Process

    • Lightweight (agile) project management. Individual collaborators use whatever mechanism works for them them.
    • 30 minute Scrum calls.
    • "Do-opoloy". Working code speaks louder than words!


    Source Code

    Software Requirements For Development

    • .NET Framework 4.5
    • msbuild.exe: Ships free with .NET Framework.
    • Project Files are created in Visual Studio 2013:
      • Visual Studio 2013 Express Web and Desktop togetherl fully supported. Required for building the complete RI. See the details for building the .NET RI.
    • For large messages, Windows Hot Fix



    Build Environment

    You build projects using either Visual Studio or from the command line using msbuild.exe.

    Components

    The C# Reference implementation provides software at two levels:

    Object Model and libraries that allow you to integrate and leverage - pick and choose - even copy and paste - Direct technology into your existing .NET code.

    More packaged solutions that use the object model to deliver turn-key out of the box functionality.
