Integrate HDevelop code into a C# application using the Library Project Export

Learn how to seamlessly turn your HDevelop procedures into native C/C++ functions. This tutorial walks you through exporting, compiling, and integrating HALCON code directly into your own application.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to integrate machine vision code developed with HDevelop into an existing C# Visual Studio application.

For this, we use the Library Project Export, which simplifies the usage of HDevEngine. Thus, you can use HDevelop procedures as simply as HALCON operators in your C++ or C# application code.
