.NET Interface (C#)
.NET Interface (C#)
This section assumes that you are already familiar with the C# programming language. If not, a variety of books and websites are available for learning the language (for example, the Microsoft online C# documentation).
While C# programs have historically only run on Windows machines,
Microsoft has recently released an open-source, cross-platform .NET
implementation (.NET Core) that allows you to run C# programs on
Linux and Mac OS as well. You will find the Gurobi library that
supports .NET Core 2 in
<installdir>/lib/gurobi80.netstandard20.dll
.
For more
information on how to obtain and use .NET Core, please refer to the
.NET Tutorial.
We will work through a simple C# example in order to illustrate the use of the Gurobi .NET interface. The example builds a model, optimizes it, and outputs the optimal objective value.
Our example optimizes the following model:
maximize | x | + | y | + | 2 z | ||
subject to | x | + | 2 y | + | 3 z | ![]() |
4 |
x | + | y | ![]() |
1 | |||
x, y, z binary |
