KernelType Property
See Also  Example
Leadtools Namespace > RasterSupport Class : KernelType Property



Gets the type of the LEADTOOLS kernel.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Shared ReadOnly Property KernelType As RasterKernelType
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim value As RasterKernelType
 
value = RasterSupport.KernelType
C# 
public static RasterKernelType KernelType {get;}
C++/CLI 
public:
static property RasterKernelType KernelType {
   RasterKernelType get();
}

Return Value

Aa RasterKernelType enumeration member indicating the LEADTOOLS kernel type.

Example

This example will check the LEADTOOLS kernel type and whether it has expired

Visual BasicCopy Code
Public Sub LeadtoolsKernelExample()
 ' show current kernel
 Select Case RasterSupport.KernelType
    Case RasterKernelType.Release
       Console.WriteLine("Release kernel")

    Case RasterKernelType.Nag
       Console.WriteLine("Nag kernel")

    Case RasterKernelType.Evaluation
       Console.WriteLine("Evaluation kernel")
       ' show if the kernel has expired
       If RasterSupport.KernelExpired Then
          Console.WriteLine("Evaluation kernel has expired")
       Else
          Console.WriteLine("Evaluation kernel has not expired yet")
       End If
 End Select
      End Sub
C#Copy Code
public void LeadtoolsKernelExample() 
{ 
   // show current kernel 
   switch(RasterSupport.KernelType) 
   { 
      case RasterKernelType.Release: 
         Console.WriteLine("Release kernel"); 
         break; 
 
      case RasterKernelType.Nag: 
         Console.WriteLine("Nag kernel"); 
         break; 
 
      case RasterKernelType.Evaluation: 
         Console.WriteLine("Evaluation kernel"); 
         // show if the kernel has expired 
         if(RasterSupport.KernelExpired) 
            Console.WriteLine("Evaluation kernel has expired"); 
         else 
            Console.WriteLine("Evaluation kernel has not expired yet"); 
         break; 
   } 
}

Remarks

There are 3 types of LEADTOOLS kernels, as described in the following table:
KernelDescription
Release This is the Release kernel.
Nag This is a special build of the kernel, which has specialty features (such as Document Imaging and Medical Imaging) unlocked. This kernel is provided to Document and Medical imaging customers, and displays a "nag" message during execution. To remove the nag, you must sign a royalty agreement. For more information, contact sales@leadtools.com.
Evaluation This is the Evaluation kernel, which has all features unlocked, but displays an "eval" message during execution. This kernel will also expire.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family
