plug-in source code request

[rovingmind]

Could somebody send me the sources for a vixen plug-in in C# or VB for the .net framework

preferably the usb dongle source , but i would appreciate any of them so that i can see an example.

Programming noob here, i did not see the source code listed anywhere for the plug-ins. If it is online can somebody point me at them please?

I want to order a GroovyGameGear controller and use it for next years display.

The source code for the parallel port plugin is available at www.vixenlights.com. The source for the rest of the plugins is not available. However, if you use VS to inherit off of the Vixen.exe file, you can create method stubs off of the Vixen plug interface. Go to vixenlights.com to get the programming guide.

thanks,

i must have missed the parrallel port source, i'll go check again. I'm not using Visual Studio i'm using SharpDevelop. I'll have to go through their documentation and see if it can do the same.

There are also tools out there on the net for dis-assembling the plug-ins. You lose the comments, of course, but those are hardly necessary for the simpler plugins.

I use SharpDevelop too, it's much less laggy than VS. You need to start a new Class Library project, and then "Add Reference" to Vixen.exe.

Then, in your main class, have it implement the IEventDrivenPlugIn interface. You can press Alt-Ins(ert), or right click to automatically add the methods, etc. for the interface.

Thanks for the tip. I havn't programmed anything since DOS 3.1 so i'm back at "hello world" and i'm jumping in with both feet and about 30 tech manuals, but i have until next thanksgiving to get this working.

I'm not going to be able to do this at this time, life intervenes and i have to go job hunting and put my spare time to other uses. If anybody else takes a crack at it good luck and i hope they post it.
