1. Possibility

   • Copy Checkbox.cs class to the same directory like Program.cs is in (<Project directory>/<Project name>/Checkbox.cs)
   • Goto your <Project name>.csproj
   • Search for Compile and add in scope of this <ItemGroup> another tag like the others: <Compile Include="Checkbox.cs" />

Code examples in Checkbox/Program.cs

// First create a Checkbox object

// First parameter is the headline shown above the select boxes
string checkboxHeadline = "Select one of the following options";
// Standarts are no multiple selection and selection is required
// As select option you either can give an array as parameter
string[] opts = {"1. option", "2. option", "3. option" /* ... */};
Checkbox c1 = new Checkbox(checkboxHeadline, opts);
// Or directly as function parameter
Checkbox c2 = new Checkbox(checkboxHeadline, /* options: */ "1. option", "2. option", "3. option" /* ... */);

// If you want to disable requirement of the checkboxes to be checked
Checkbox c3 = new Checkbox(checkboxHeadline, /* multi-mode: */ false, /* required: */ false, opts);


// After creating the Checkbox object
// Call the Select method which returns the selected indices and option strings
var res1 = c1.Select();
