Okay, so after following that guide, i'm wondering how to use IndirectUI in it...? Got that, but can I use indirectui to validate values, i.e.. disable the 'OK' button when there are invalid values in the controls. Also, is there a control to make a Button, like the 'randomize' ones inside of the dialog?

Awesome. Especially as I'm already familiar with VS. Thanks!

So, I have an effect I'd like to program, and after finding CodeLab, I find it doesn't support dynamic UI controls, which I need, so I am trying to write a plugin in C# just using references to the Paint.NET assemblies, I.e. PaintDotNet.exe, PaintDotNet.Core.dll... and so on. Anyone know if this is possible, and if so, any pointers? (pun intended).

I was texturing in paint.net casually, and i selected an area and hit brightness and contrast, then -boom- "An unhandled Exception Has Occured In Your Aplication" the error report in the dialog was as follows: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text **************
