.net plugins, not as com, but as .net by bws on 08-29-2004 at 12:39 PM
Hi,
.Net plugins are now treated as COM plugins, which is a shame. .Net assemblies can be dynamicly loaded at runtime.
The way COM registrated the DLL's in the registry is clumsly, and very awkuard, AND most importantly, it is an overhead for .net to be treated as COM!
It would be fairly easy to create a .net dll, supporting COM which than contains a function to load a .net assembly and pass it to msgplus so that .net plugins can be loaded froma folder.

Then why not provide such a DLL?

It would be fairly easy for me to create such a DLL, but patchou has to understand how it works, and convert his code to it.
It would be faster for patchou to create his own DLL and implement it.

You could provide Patchou with the source code for such a DLL, and if he uses it, you'll get credited for it.
