They are the same samples that the setup installs into your *Documents* folder, so you can browse them before you install anything, or clone them into a project folder of your own. Because the GitHub copies were written for an earlier version, a few changes bring them to the current one. ### What the Organization Contains - **The sample index.** [TXSamples.NET](https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples.NET) lists the official sample repositories of all .NET products of Text Control. - **The official WPF samples.** [TXSamples\_WPF\_CSharp](https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples_WPF_CSharp) and [TXSamples\_WPF\_VB.NET](https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples_WPF_VB.NET) contain 16 sample applications in three categories, each once for the .NET Framework 4.8 (folder *.NET-Framework-48*) and once for .NET 6 (folder *.NET-Core-6*): - *Tutorial*: the smallest word processor, with loading, saving, the clipboard, formatting dialog boxes, a button bar, two ruler bars and a status bar. - *Howto*: hyperlinks, mail merge, the mini toolbar, spreadsheet formulas in tables and XML files. - *TX Words*: the word processor sample and the nine samples built on it; see [TX Words WPF Sample Application](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/examples/tx-words/llms-full.txt). - **Single samples.** A few repositories show one technique each, such as a print preview or line numbers. The topic pages of this section list them. - **Other products.** The organization also contains samples for TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms, TX Text Control .NET Server, TX Spell .NET and DS Server. The examples pages of this section list only samples for WPF. - **Agent Skills.** The repositories [txtextcontrol-document-editor-skills](https://github.com/TextControl/txtextcontrol-document-editor-skills) and [txtextcontrol-servertextcontrol-skills](https://github.com/TextControl/txtextcontrol-servertextcontrol-skills) hold skills for AI coding assistants, written for the Document Editor and `ServerTextControl` of TX Text Control .NET Server. [AI Coding Assistants](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/integration/coding-assistants/llms-full.txt) explains what they cover and how to connect an assistant to the Text Control MCP Server. The blog article [Official TX Text Control .NET Sample Applications Are Now Hosted on GitHub](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2023/01/08/official-tx-text-control-net-sample-applications-are-now-hosted-on-github/) introduced the repositories. ### Run a Sample WPF applications run on Windows only, and you need Visual Studio and TX Text Control .NET for WPF: the setup of the full or the trial version provides the packages and the license. See [Installing the Product](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/installation/setup/llms-full.txt). The repositories contain no solution files for the official samples: each sample is a project in its own folder. Clone the repository, update the sample as described in [Update an Older Sample](#update-an-older-sample), and open the *.csproj* file of the sample in Visual Studio, or build it with the .NET CLI: ```bash git clone https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples_WPF_CSharp.git cd "TXSamples_WPF_CSharp/.NET-Core-6/TX Words/TX Text Control WPF Words" dotnet build ``` None of the repositories contains a *nuget.config* file: the packages come from the package source **Text Control Offline Packages** that the setup adds, or from the Text Control Private NuGet Feed. See [Configuring Package Sources](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/installation/nuget/sources/llms-full.txt). ### Update an Older Sample The official samples on GitHub were last updated for version 32.0. The setup installs the samples of the current version; on GitHub, a few changes are needed. #### .NET Samples The projects in *.NET-Core-6* target `net6.0-windows` and reference `TXTextControl.TextControl.WPF.SDK` in version `32.0.*`. The package of version 34.0 requires .NET 8 or higher. 1. Change the target framework in the *.csproj* file from `net6.0-windows` to `net8.0-windows` or higher. 2. Update `TXTextControl.TextControl.WPF.SDK` to the current version, 34.0.5. See [Installing and Updating Packages](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/installation/nuget/install-update/llms-full.txt). 3. Delete *Properties\\licenses.licx* and the line of the *.csproj* file that embeds it. Since Service Pack 2 of version 32.0, .NET projects no longer use *licenses.licx*: the package adds the license file *txtextcontrol.wpf.license*, which the build embeds into your assembly. See [Development Licenses](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/installation/licensing/development/llms-full.txt). #### .NET Framework Samples The projects in *.NET-Framework-48* reference the assemblies *TXTextControl.dll* and *TXTextControl.WPF.dll* of version 32.0, and the TX Words samples further assemblies such as *TXDrawing.dll* and *TXBarcode.dll*. Some projects give a path to them that doesn't exist on your machine. 1. Remove the references to the TX Text Control assemblies and add them again from the *Assembly* folder of your installation. 2. In *Properties\\licenses.licx*, change the version in each entry to the version of the new assemblies. Since version 30.0, each entry names the full version, for example `TXTextControl.WPF.TextControl, TXTextControl.WPF, Version=32.0.1700.500, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6b83fe9a75cfb638`. 3. Rebuild the project.
