Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes
Default licensing
1. Create license object and use method SetLicense() that takes path to license or license stream as argument
License license = new License();
license.SetLicense("path to license");
//or
License license = new License();
license.SetLicense("license stream");
Metered licensing
2. Create metered object and use method SetMeteredKey()
// Set metered key
Metered metered = new Metered();
metered.SetMeteredKey("****", "****");
To check current consumption quantity use GetConsumptionQuantity() method
// Get consumption quantity from metered
decimal amountBefor = Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();
// Call comparison
string sourcePath = @"./data/source.docx";
string targetPath = @"./data/target.docx";
Comparer comparer = new Comparer();
comparer.Compare(sourcePath, targetPath, new ComparisonSettings());
comparer.Compare(sourcePath, targetPath, new ComparisonSettings());
// Get consumption quantity from metered after several calls of comparison
decimal amountAfter = Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();
Compare two documents from files:
string source = "source.docx";
string target = "target.docx";
Comparer comparer = new Comparer();
ICompareResult result = comparer.Compare(source, target, new ComparisonSettings());
Compare two documents from streams:
Stream source = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("source.docx");
Stream target = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("target.docx");
Comparer comparer = new Comparer();
ICompareResult result = comparer.Compare(source, target, new ComparisonSettings());
Compare two documents with passwords from files:
string source = "source.docx";
string target = "target.docx";
string sourcePassword = "password";
string targetPassword = "password";
Comparer comparer = new Comparer();
ICompareResult result = comparer.Compare(source, sourcePassword, target, targetPassword, new ComparisonSettings());
Compare two documents with passwords from streams:
Stream source = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("source.docx");
Stream target = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("target.docx");
string sourcePassword = "password";
string targetPassword = "password";
Comparer comparer = new Comparer();
ICompareResult result = comparer.Compare(source, sourcePassword, target, targetPassword, new ComparisonSettings());
