Subject: Decal Gurus - Decal Newb Needs A Point In The Right Direction
Hi Decal gurus! I know this is a bother and I hate to ask but can anyone point me in the right direction with how to get started working with Decal? I've tried to figure it out on my own but I'm obviously missing something simple that everyone takes for granted. I'm very good at VB.NET so the code behind the scenes isn't a problem. My problem is I can't figure out how to get at the information that Decal provides.

For example:
I could easily write the code to parse a string from an item ID and do all kinds of stuff with it. Well that's great but how do I get the string out of Decal and into a variable in VB.NET that I can work with?

I've searched the decaldev boards and even google but everything I find assumes I should already know how to do this. Sorry for being such a Decal newb but I really just need this simple (and probably obvious) "Step 1" and I can take it from there.

Thanks for any help!

You could start by downloading the source for one of the existing plugins. I know that paraduck recently made his source available, digero has his source for many of his plugins on his website and there are others.
