Developing plugins in Visual Studio
Posted: Fri May 21, 2021 3:54 pm
I know I'm a little late to the party but I'd like to get up to speed on using VS to develop plugins, custom forms, custom tabs etc. Up until now I've just been using the plugin maintenance screen. I've tried making headway previously but always got sidetracked with "proper" work!
So using this as a basis viewtopic.php?f=27&t=170 I thought I'd get stuck right in!
First hiccup came at step 2:
When I unzip JiwaSurrogate I can't find any output folder in any subfolder anywhere.
Next hiccup is I can't find any free version of Infragistics for Windows Forms. The only trial versions seem to last for only 30 days and I can't find anything just for Windows Forms. The closest I can find is Ultimate UI for Windows Forms. But if I download & install the trial version will I still be able to develop & fiddle about & learn after day 31?
Third hiccup is at step 3.
I'll see how far I get once I overcome those initial hurdles.
Thanks

First hiccup came at step 2:
2. Copy all the Jiwa*.DLL files from your Jiwa installation into the output folder of the surrogate project (both projects in the surrogate solution output to the same folder)
When I unzip JiwaSurrogate I can't find any output folder in any subfolder anywhere.
Next hiccup is I can't find any free version of Infragistics for Windows Forms. The only trial versions seem to last for only 30 days and I can't find anything just for Windows Forms.

How?3. Open the solution, and check the references are valid in both the JiwaSurrogate project and the Plugins project
I'll see how far I get once I overcome those initial hurdles.
