The vCloud Suite SDK .NET enables programmatic access to vSphere. Access to capabilities exposed through the vSphere Web Services API is done using vSphere Management SDK. This SDK includes .NET libraries for accessing new features like Content Library and existing features like Tagging which did not support a public API prior to vSphere 6.0.
This SDK contains samples for the features mentioned above as well as samples to demonstrate how to interoperate with vSphere APIs. If you want to look at the vSphere API samples, please refer to vSphere Management SDK. This README contains the following topics:
