## Using BEA WebLogic RFID Edge Mobile SDK Sample to Develop Applications

The following programming sample is installed by default in the `BEA_MOBILE_SDK_HOME/samples` directory, where `BEA_MOBILE_SDK_HOME` represents the product installation directory on the mobile device. You can modify the sample application and use it as a starting point for developing your own applications`.`

Sample C# Application provides procedures for setting up your development environment, as well as instructions for compiling, running, and working with the sample application.

`BEAMobileTagRead`

This sample demonstrates how to use the BEA WebLogic Mobile SDK APIs for tag reading with EPCIS capture (send an EPCIS ObjectEvent for one or more EPC reads). The source code for this sample application is installed with the product to allow application developers to modify the code to meet their requirements and deployment environments.
