Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Your options basically fit in two categories: COM or .NET. .NET is the easier route, and most plugins nowadays are written in C# or VB.NET (I suggest C#). COM is usually done in VB6, but can also be done in C++ if you are adventurous (you can also do .NET development with C++/CLI).
There are several open source plugins out there. SkunkWorks/SkunkVision (Sourceforge), all of Digero's plugins ( http://decal.acasylum.com/ ), and a few others are available.
I also have source on my site for interacting with my utilities ( http://www.virindi.net/repos/virindi_public/trunk/ ).

The first thing that I did was take a look at some of the source code for other programs (but don't blatently steal the code). Then I got the decal framework template and started up visual studio and loaded the template. From there, just play around with it. The intellisense in VS is decent, though quite a few of the hints are missing still. I would love to get a collection of snippets, since everyone codes differently.
