This article explains how to use the .NET Core Demo provided as Program.cs file. This example shows a simple console telegram monitor which can be executed on Windows and Linux.

Please read this: Getting started with .NET Core on Windows/Linux/macOS using the command line

 

Procedure

  1. Launch Visual Studio 2017. Select File > New > Project from the menu bar. In the New Project* dialog, select the Visual C# node followed by the .NET Core node. Then select the Console App (.NET Core) project template. Click OK.
  2. Visual Studio uses the template in order to create the project. The C# Console Application template for .NET Core automatically defines a class: Program. Remove the Program.cs from the template. Add the Program.cs provided via the Falcon.NET SDK.
  3. Add references to Knx.Falcon.Sdk.dll and Knx.Falcon.UsbAccess.dll, which are provided via the Falcon.NET SDK.
  4. On the menu bar, select Build > Build Solution.
  5. The console prompts to select a KNX Interface which is connected via USB or IP.
  6. After selecting an interface all telegrams arriving at the interface are displayed in the console output.

Please note that core console applications are provided per default as a DLL file. In order to get further information about publishing this demo, see .NET Core-CLI-Tools. In order to run, open a command prompt and use dotnet cli.
