Go to the downloads page and download the latest "stable" version or go and grab the latest build from our continuous integration server (TeamCity)
Unzip the file, unzip the bin zip, and grab the following files:

Rackspace.Cloudfiles.dll
log4net.dll
log4Net.config

Reference them from your application. Look at the examples below once you done this. Example folder structure:

/Your_project
	/lib
		/cloudfiles
			Rackspace.Cloudfiles.dll
			log4net.dll
	/src
		...

Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 3.5/.NET 4.0 (depending on the zip file you chose)

Running the tests requires Ruby and Rake to be installed. We suggest you use the Ruby Installer For Windows. We currently use the 1.8.6 version. After that is installed you will need to install the rake and albacore(v0.2.2) gems.

gem install rake
gem install albacore -v 0.2.2

Follow the instructions here to install msysgit [Git for Windows users] and get your ssh keys setup for using Github.

git clone git://github.com/rackspace/csharp-cloudfiles.git

This will create the csharp-cloudfiles directory locally on your computer. Go into that folder and run:

rake compile

This will compile the project and give you a resulting dll in ...csharp-cloudfiles/bin/debug/

Look above for an example folder structure.

Logging is done with the log4net.dll and log4net.config file that are included in the source/downloads. You just need to edit the log4net.config file to turn it on:

change:
<level value="INFO" />

to:
<level value="DEBUG" /> or
<level value="ERROR" /> or
<level value="ALL" />

so that logging starts and you get the desired logging output and format.

Currently the log is going to log/Rackspace.CloudFiles.Log, where you have the dll referenced.

<file value="logs/Rackspace.CloudFiles.Log" />   (in the log4net.config file)

Please reference the log4net documentation on how to edit that config file.

Once Ruby/Rake are installed you need to create your integration tests credentials config file.

Run

rake create_credentials_config

from the project solution directory. This will create a Credentials.config file in root of the repository (same place as the sln file):

Just replace the placeholder text. This file is not under source control. It is ignored by the .gitignore file.
