Plugins and NPVR. Where do we start?

[cbgifford]

I'm looking for the sample plugin zip files but can't seem to locate them, where can I get them from? Thanks!

Here is the most relevant sample.

Thanks, now comes the fun part, seeing if I can translate it to VB from C#. If I get it working, I'll post it for those who use VB.

Ok, the C# project is complaining it can't find the NUtility project. The using clauses for NUtility are erred as would be expected, so I tried adding a reference the the DLL in the NPVR directory for both NUtility and NShared, didn't fix it. Any ideas why?

One more question, when you start a project for a new plugin, what type of project to you select? I would think Class Library but I'm not sure. I ask because translating the code is the simple part, there's a utility out on the web that does it for me but it doesn't convert project files.

Appreciate any help you could give.

Yes, you'd need to do that. The locations of NUtility.dll and NShared.dll are different on my development machine, so you need to point them to these DLLs on your machine.

No, not really. What exactly does it say?

Yes, the plugins are a Class Library.

When I select NUtlity from the programs directory as shown in the first screen shot and click ok, the red underline error indicators don't clear. I go back in to add reference again and the box is unchecked. But if I check NShared it stays checked.

Ok, I created a empty class project and added the translated files and a reference to NUtility that stayed checked and I've got it down to a total of 6 errors. I'm not done diggin into the erros but am hoping someone out there has seen the errors and knows how to resolve them so I don't have to reinvent the wheel

I think whatever C# -> VB.NET translator you passed the code through, hasn't got it quite right.

You'll probably need to post the code it generated for me to have chance at helping you with those remaining errors. I'm guessing there is only a few small issues.

Appreciate the help on it

I'm not going to have much time today, but I'll try give pointers on a couple of these.

On the first error, about event Load, I think you need to delete the "Me.Load += New System.EventHandler(Me.SettingsForm_Load)" line entirely, and instead make sure the method declaration includes:

Private Sub SettingsForm_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
