Is it possible to use Visual Studio 2002 to develop a plugin for LCDSmartie ? I can't load the example code, presumably because it was developed using 2003. How can I load it into 2002 ?
I'm new to C#, but have been programming in C++ and Java for many years, so I hope to pick it up fairly easily.
Thanks,
Allen

I assume you could start a new project and just add the source files to that project.

I did that and took the C# example plugin. When I tried to build it, it just said there was no entry point. I've not used VS .NET before, what am I doing wrong ?

I am using Visual C++ Version 6. So I am sure you can open it.
Did you start a .dll project?
I believe its called MFC AppWizard(dll) and then you add the files for the plugin.
I can send you my project file if you cant figure it out.

I think maybe I'll have to use C++. I can't figure out how to start a DLL project in C#.
It would be really helpful if you could send me your project file. Thanks.

What is your email?
I will send you all of the files included in the C++ demo plugin. It will basically be a blank plugin.
