The North State Framework (NSF) is an object-oriented framework for implementing UML state machines. For more information, see the pages here.
- The NSF in C# requires Microsoft .NET 2.0 for compilation.
- The solution provided is compatible with Visual Studio 2013.
- Doxygen is required to build the documentation. (Optional)
- Open the file NorthStateFramework-csharp.sln within Visual Studio.
- Choose either Debug or Release build configurations.
- Build the code from the IDE
- Output will be placed in the Build directory
- Executables will be created for the test project and each of the example projects
- NorthStateFramework.dll will be created for use in other projects.
- If you wish to build the documentation you must first install Doxygen.
- Open the solution
- Right click on the Documentation project and choose build.
- Index.html and other html pages will be generated to the \Documentation\Doxygen\HTML directory.
NSF is a framework contained in a dll for inclusion in projects that require state machine behavior. To start using NSF, reference the NorthStateFramework.dll within your project. See the included examples. For an in-depth tutorial on using NSF, see the WorkingWithNorthStateFramework document contained in the solution.
If you would rather not generate the documentation, you can use the online documentation located at http://northstatesoftware.github.io/NorthStateFramework-csharp/Documentation.
