ZMud Programming with C#.NET |
I'm trying to port a ZMud plugin written in VB6 to C#.NET. I've setup a reference to zmud.exe in my References folder and noticed that Visual Studio .NET 2003 creates an Interop.Zmud.dll file.
I'm able to implement the IzMudPlugin ie, using C# notation of
public class ZMudLinkDLL : IzMUDPlugin
and I have implemented all of the methods such that it compiles in Visual Studio. Including the Register method as
public void Register(ref string Name
, ref string Company
, ref string Regcode
, ref string Description
, ref string Version
, ref string HelpFile
, ref bool LoadDef)
{
Name = "Test Plugin";
Company = "Zugg Software";
Regcode = "123456789012";
Description = "Test";
HelpFile = "";
LoadDef = true;
}
However when I try to reference the DLL in ZMud, it says it is not a valid plugin. Any suggestions or has anyone created a plugin with C#.NET that I could use as reference?
Thanks in advance. |

You should register for the Developer's Forum.
I haven't tried to use .NET for a plugin, but I did have a similar problem with C++ under VS6. The plugin was valid and would work, but zMud's plugin manager had trouble recognizing it as valid. For details, bgunther gave the most detailed writeup a few years ago in the dev forum if you want to do a search.
Two things to try:
1) Use your plugin from another program- script, anything, just to see if the system can create and use it as a COM object.
2) If (1) works, then try registering the plugin by hand in your registry.
There's a family of keys in the registry under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, and in the following example I have a plugin named Test:
Code: |
Zuggsoft\
zMUD
Plugins
Test
|
My example is Test; you'll need five keys under it (below are name, type, Data):
(Default) REG_SZ (Value not set)
ClassName REG_SZ TestPlug.CTrialPlugin
Enabled REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
FileName REG_SZ c:\plug\testplug.dll
UseCOM REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
