Plugin .NET 2.0 Compliance

[jtokach]

Sub (et al),

What changes, besides compiling with .NET 2.0, needed to be made to an older plugin so that it would be compatible with the GBPVR post .NET 2.0?

Thanks,

That was pretty much it. The were two other changes that tripped plugins up at the same time GB-PVR moved to .net 2.0:

1) plugins that directly accessed the gbpvr.mdb database didnt work correctly since GB-PVR was now able to use different databases, and SQLite was the new default database. These plugins needed to be changed to read the correct DB connection info from the config.xml rather than assuming the database was always gbpvr.mdb

2) The was a minor change to the IScheduleHelper interface that meant plugins using it needed to be recompiled.

If a plugin didnt do either of these two things, then the .net 1.1 plugins would still work fine.
