-
-To use csharp api for openvino execution provider create a custom nuget package. Two nuget packages will be created
-Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Managed and Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Openvino.
-
-1. Windows
-
-Build a custom nuget package for windows.
-```
-.\build.bat --config Debug --build --use_openvino $Device --build_csharp
-msbuild csharp\OnnxRuntime.CSharp.proj /p:OrtPackageId=Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Openvino /p:Configuration=Debug /t:CreatePackage

-The msbuild log will show the paths of the nuget packages created.

-2. Linux
-
-We currently do not have a process to build directly in Linux. But we can
-copy shared library <ORT linux repo>/build/Linux/<config>/libonnxruntime.so
-to onnxruntime source repository in windows and execute the same commands 
-above to get custom nuget package for linux. Two nuget packages will be 
-created Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Managed and Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Openvino.
