So, to make the C# Yoctopuce API work with the OS of your choice, you need to retrieve the dynamic library for your OS (you can find it in the C++ API), copy the contents of the configuration file above in a file named executable_nfig and that's it.

Luckily, it looks like this has been taken care of :-) Mono can use a little configuration file describing how to match a DLL with an equivalent dynamic library for the others operating systems. To make it simple, we need to tell Mono to load the library matching the operating system instead of yapi.dll. Obviously, the difficulty is to do the same with other operating systems. So Mono does seem to be compatible with C#. For instance, if we want to test the Yocto-Temperature demo program, we only need to copy main.cs, yocto_api.cs, yocto_temperature.cs et yapi.dll in a folder, type gmcs *.cs and that's it. It's quite easy to check if the Yoctopuce API works with Mono on Windows. The Yoctopuce library for C# is distributed with the yapi.dll library only, which makes sense since (until now) the C# API was targeted for Windows only. The Yoctopuce low level API is available as a dynamic library The low-level API is written in C, and is available in multiple formats: source files, pre-compiled libraries, static or dynamic. No fancy system calls are made in the high-level API, so the odds are it will work on any platform. The high-level API is always written using only the target language, which is C# in our case. and the low-level API which handles the communications with the hardware.

The Yoctopuce API is made of two layers: the high-level API, which handles device 'abstract' features such as Temperature, Voltage, Relay etc.

So, can we make the C# Yoctopuce library work on Linux or Mac OS X ? Well, there is a point: applications compiled with Mono can run on Windows, as well as Linux and Mac OS X. 'What's the point?' you may ask, since Microsoft gives C#. Mono is an open-source implementation of C# and it is compatible with C#. We didn't have such plans, however we promised to have a look at it. Some time ago, someone asked us if we had planned a Yoctopuce library for the Mono framework.
