[en] This guide is intended for software developers who want to programmatically integrate printing of NiceLabel label templates into their own application. While such approach allows seamless integration into third party applications, it requires understanding of .NET Framework technologies and object oriented programming techniques. You will also need experience with C# programming language and Visual Studio to understand and use the sample applications. For easier non-programmable printing integration, consider using NiceLabel Automation integration module instead.
