Description
Some AutoCAD add-ins require file storage or retrieval. While the solution for some is to read from and write to a network share, the solution for others is to read from and write directly to “the cloud” (insert cool music here). While we hear about "the cloud" on a daily basis, many developers have not yet moved to cloud-based storage for their applications. This class will demonstrate how easy it is to begin capitalizing on "the cloud" for file storage in a .NET AutoCAD add-in. This session features AutoCAD. AIA Approved
