2.1. Adding the library to project
We provide two methods for adding libraries: using Nuget Package, and manually linking the dll file included with the SDK.Please add the library according to your application configuration.
Please confirm the newest Library from our Global Support Site.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/StarMicronics.StarIOExtension.Desktop/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/StarMicronics.StarIODeviceSetting.Desktop/
(If the library with a strong named is used)
https://www.nuget.org/packages/StarMicronics.StarIO.Desktop.StrongName/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/StarMicronics.StarIOExtension.Desktop.StrongName/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/StarMicronics.StarIODeviceSetting.Desktop.StrongName/
