peorge Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 What language do you use to make plugins? Also is there a guide for people new to developing plugins. I would like to create some plugins but the only programming I am somewhat good at is VB. Thanks, Peorge Quote I am new to Paint.Net and want to thank everyone for helping Me. http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=26175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 C# seems to be the language of choice (the transition from VB to C# is not too difficult). There are templates available if you have Visual Studio or one of the express packages installed: C# VS 2005: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2618 VB.Net: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=23004 The fastest method to get started is to get CodeLab! Get it here I highly recommend working through the example scripts on BoltBaits web site to get you up and running.

harold Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 C# seems to be the language of choice But let's not ignore the possibility of coding them in C++/CLR or MSIL or VB.NET and possibly other .NET languages.. (would IronPython work? F#?) I'm not saying you're wrong though, it's just for completeness Quote I would write plugins, if I knew what kind of plugins were needed..

peorge Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 This is great information. Thank you all for helping out. I hope to be working on this soon and hope I can give a little back by making a plugin.
