[PLUGIN DEVELOPMENT] Can someone provide a Visual Studio template in C# for PinballX plugin ?

[jejegameex]

Hi, the example plugin template is in VB.net format : can someone provide it in C# ?

The framework targeted was .Net framework 2.0 : can we use a newer framework ? Maybe in .Net core, now that PinballX is developed in this framework ?

To be honest, I think I looked at the template  just onestime and that was years ago. But I thought that the template just contains the functions that could be used and not depending to a .net version ?

Besides Tom who knows more about the plugin template, I think @scuttersknows a lot about the templates as well

I'm pretty sure all the plugins i've done i've changed the runtime to .net 4. Seems to fairly universally installed and will work with pinballx .net core & legacy (32/64bit) versions.

I guess it wouldn't take much to convert the plugin template to C# via online converters, but if you choose to go with .net core then any plugins won't be backward compatible with legacy pinballx

OK, I understand how to create a plugin. It's simple, no need to add references...

The process :
- Create a new project for make a .dll
- Add a class named Plugin
- Add methods like Name, Version... for the description of the plugin
- Add events methods like Input_Keyboard...

Plugin Manager.exe see my plugin, it's good !
So I'll try to create one in .net framework 4.
