Select .NET/C# from the language options.
Select a type of platform from the options.
Add the ROX package to your application by running the shell commands appropriate for your CLI or package manager, listed in the following table:

Table 1. Commands to add the ROX package to your application

Type of platform Command to run

CLI

dotnet add package rox-server

Package manager

Install-Package rox-server

Table 1. Commands to add the ROX package to your application
Type of platform	Command to run
CLI	`dotnet add package rox-server`
Package manager	`Install-Package rox-server`

Add the following code to your .NET/C# application:

Your SDK key is a unique environment identifier. During SDK installation, the SDK key is displayed within the Rox.setup call.

using Io.Rollout.Rox.Server;
using Io.Rollout.Rox.Core.Entities;
using Io.Rollout.Rox.Server.Flags;
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;


namespace dotnet
{
// Create a Roxflag in the Flag continer class
public class Flags : IRoxContainer {
public RoxFlag enableTutorial = new RoxFlag(false);
public RoxString titleColors = new RoxString("White", new String[] {"White", "Blue", "Green"});
public RoxInt titleSize = new RoxInt(12, new int[] {12, 14, 18});
public RoxDouble specialNumbers = new RoxDouble(3.14, new double[] { 2.71, 0.577 });
}

class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        Flags flags = new Flags();

        // Register the flag container
        Rox.Register("", flags);

        var options = new RoxOptions(new RoxOptions.RoxOptionsBuilder {});

        // Set the environment key
        await Rox.Setup("<YOUR-SDK-KEY>", options);(1)

        // Boolean flag example
        Console.WriteLine("enableTutorial " + flags.enableTutorial.IsEnabled());

        // string flag example
        Console.WriteLine("titleColors value is " + flags.titleColors.GetValue());

        // int flag example
        Console.WriteLine("titleSize value is " + flags.titleSize.GetValue());

        // double flag example
        Console.WriteLine("specialNumbers value is " + flags.specialNumbers.GetValue());
    }

1	The platform provides the unique SDK key for your environment at the `<YOUR-SDK-KEY>` location within the `Rox.setup` call.

Run your application and then select TEST INTEGRATION to confirm a successful connection.

After running the application, flags added in the code are automatically added to your feature flag list.

You have installed an SDK and created flags in your application.

Refer to the SDK reference for more information.
