# Insert Notes with Parameters Example (C#)

This example shows how to insert Notes with parameters in a drawing document.

    //--------------------------------------------------------------
    // Preconditions:
    // 1. Create a C# Windows console project.
    // 2. Copy and paste this example into the C# IDE.
    // 3. Add a reference to:
    //    install_dir\APISDK\tlb\DraftSight.Interop.dsAutomation.dll.
    // 4. Add references to System and System.Windows.Forms.
    // 5. Start DraftSight and open a document.
    // 6. Start debugging the project.
    //
    // Postconditions: A message box pops up when Notes with parameters
    // are inserted in the drawing document.
