Building Your Applications

This section explains how to build your own applications using the client library outside the solution file
provided by the ZIP archive.

To build an application:

Copy the following client library DLL files from the cs\lib folder to your development folder and
add them in the reference path:

•

Google.GData.Apps.dll

•

Google.GData.Client.dll

•

Google.GData.Extensions.dll

•

Google.GData.Gsa.dll

In Visual Studio, create or open a new project.

Click the Browse tab and navigate to the folder where you copied the DLL files.

Select the DLLs to use in your project.
