Connect to the OpenFin 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 = "UUID_STRING",
                        LicenseKey = "LICENSE_KEY"
                    });

You can specify the version as "stable," which causes the RVM to download and start the latest stable version of the OpenFin Runtime; more likely, you can reference a specific version that your organization is currently using. For example, "27.104.71.21".

If you do not already have a LicenseKey value, contact OpenFin at support@openfin.co to obtain one.

Once you have an instance of a Runtime, the adapter must 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 environment.
