SDK installation and Documents

Post by nick.agopyan »

Hello, I'm new to SoftPro development so would anyone please give me a pointer?
Here is what I know so far:

- The sdk requires Visual Studio 2015
- VS2015 needs to be installed on the same machine where SoftPro select is installed.
- SDK is installed on top of VS2015.

Here is what I'm not sure about:
1. Are there any additional setup requirements needed?
2. I saw that there is an SDK offered for soft pro in the Microsoft windows store - is it required/beneficial to have?
3. More importantly > Where can I find the documentation for the SDK?
4. Also SoftPro can be installed as self hosted or cloud hosted by SoftPro directly >> does this make a difference in regards of the custom development package? If a package is developed to work for local hosted instance will it work the same for cloud or does it need something extra?

Thanks!

The SoftPro Select SDK is only available from SoftPro. If you are interested in purchasing it, please contact your Customer Support Representative.

The SDK requires Visual Studio 2019 and is not available from Microsoft. The SDK provides information on public interfaces and methods to help write application. Additionally, you can use this forum to search and ask questions.

The setup for development of Select 4.3 on your development machine is quite straightforward.
  • Purchase the SoftPro Select software.
  • Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.
  • Install the server.
  • Install the client.
  • Install the Select SDK.
