You will also need a corresponding db4o version (compatible db4o and dRS have the same version number).<br>To use the Hibernate Replication functionality, the Hibernate core version 3.1 files are required. These files and their dependencies have been included in the /lib folder for your convenience. If you require more complicated Hibernate mapping configurations, you may wish to download the full Hibernate documentation from the <a href="http://www.hibernate.org/">Hibernate project website</a>.<br>To run the provided build scripts dRS requires <a href="http://ant.apache.org/">Apache Ant</a> 1.6 or later.<br>

</p><a name=".NET version "></a><h3>.NET version </h3><p>dRS requires Microsoft .NET framework version 2.0 to work. A compatible version of db4o database should be used (compatible db4o and dRS have the same version number).</p><p>To work with the source code and examples you will need Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.<br></p><a name="Installation "></a><h2>Installation </h2><p><span name="cs_wiki_filter" csw_filters="net"> </p><a name=".NET Platform Installation"></a><h3>.NET Platform Installation</h3><p>dRS engine comes as a dll. To use it in a development project, you only need to add the appropriate version of dRS to your project references. dRS version number corresponds to db4o version number, i.e dRS-6.0 will work with db4o-6.0.<br></p><p><span id="ctl00_ctl00_bcr_topicView___TopicBody"><span class="net">
<p>Here is an example of how to add dRS to a Visual Studio 2005 project:</p>
<ul><li>copy drs.dll to your VS.NET project folder</li><li>right-click on "References" in the Solution Explorer</li><li>choose "Add Reference"</li><li>select "Browse"</li><li>find the drs.dll in your project folder</li><li>click "Open"</li><li>click "OK"</li></ul></span></span></p><p></span> </p></div>
