Connecting to the Runtime

Once you have referenced the OpenFin.Net.Adapter package from NuGet, you can add code to connect to an OpenFin runtime.

All runtime instances are retrieved from a new instance of RuntimeFactory which you are responsible for creating.

For example:

var runtime = new RuntimeFactory()
                    .GetRuntimeInstance(new RuntimeOptions
                    {
                        Version = "stable",
                        UUID = "your-uuid",
                        LicenseKey = "your-license-key"
                    });

The version can be specified as "stable" which will cause the RVM to download and start the latest stable version of the OpenFin runtime, or more likely, will be a specific version that your organisation is currently using. For example, "27.104.71.21".

The LicenseKey should be obtained from OpenFin at *support@openfin.co* if you do not already have one.

Once you have an instance of a runtime, you will need the adapter to actually create a connection to it.

await runtime.ConnectAsync();

From this point you are now able to leverage the capabilities of the adapter to communicate with other running parts of the OpenFin Desktop.
