Sample Code
Study sample code to learn how to adopt technologies and implement features. Each sample code
project is a buildable, executable source example of how to accomplish a task using a particular
technology. The code shows the correct sequence of calls and parameters in general
implementations of APIs that you can modify for your specific needs.
