NEO Blockchain C# Center of Excellence

The neo-csharpcoe project is an "umbrella" project for several initiatives related to providing tools and libraries (code), frameworks, how-to documentation, and best practices for enterprise application development using .NET/C#, C#.NEO and the NEO Blockchain.

The neo-csharpcoe is an independent, free, open source project that is 100% community-supported by people like yourself through your contributions of time, energy, passion, promotion, and donations. To learn more about contributing to the neo-csharpcoe, click here.

CURRENT NPC V2.0 PROJECT can be found here (https://github.com/mwherman2000/neo-persistableclasses/blob/master/README.md).

PREVIOUS NPC V1.0 PROJECT can be found here (https://github.com/mwherman2000/neo-persistibleclasses/blob/master/README.md) (with the mispelled project name :-)).

What is NPC?

• NEO Persistable Classes
• Long name: NEO Persistable Class (NPC) Platform 2.1
• Byline: An Efficient Entity-based Platform for enterprise application development using .NET/C#, C#.NEO and the NEO Blockchain.

What is the subset of C# supported by the NEO compiler and NEO VM?

NPC Levels of Layered Persistance Supported

There are a number of different levels when it comes to applying the NPC Framework to classes in C#.NPC. There are:

• NPC Level 0 Basic
• NPC Level 1 Managed
• NPC Level 2 Persistable
• NPC Level 3 Deletable (Bury/Tombstone)
• NPC Level 4 Collectable
• NPC Level 5 Extendible (roadmap)
• NPC Level 6 Authorized (roadmap)
• NPC Level 7 Optimized (roadmap)

neo-npcc2's Issues

Update the namespace in all .csi source files to match the target .Contract namespace.

Use NeoCounter as an example.

TODO: Visual Studio Integration Roadmap

1. Create a VS extension for NPC solutions: Model Classes project, Client project, Driver project, Contract project
2. After VS integration, npcc should automatically add generated NPC C# files to the Contract project
3. Removal post-post-build step used in the old (current) NeoContract extension.
4. Set the npcc.exe path in the Debug section of the Model Classes project properties
5. Set the neon.exe debug compiler path in the Build section of the Contract project properties
6. Set the neod.exe debugger compiler path in the Debug section of the Contract project properties
7. Find an easy(ier) way to automatically define/add the NPC Levels C# interface definitions to a Mode Classes project.

TODO: npcc uses the Model Classes' namespace to define the target project.Contract

It doesn't use the Model Classes's project.Model name.
