quick development using visual studio by graphicsxp on 09-03-2006 at 11:45 AM

Hello

I want to use visual studio to develop scripts but I can't figure out which kind of project I should create. Also, how can i reference the Messenger Plus dll so that I can use the intellisense functionnality of visual studio when writing scripts ?

Thank you

Once you know what project type you need go to Project > Add Reference. Then, click the Browse tab and navigate to the Messenger Plus! dynamic link library and hit Ok. Then at the top of the code window type "Imports XXXX", where XXXX is whatever the Messenger Plus! dll is. "Intellisense" should help you with that part ;).

Thanks, but that would only work if I'm doing vb or c# but that won't work with JScript (imports is not even a JScript keyword, is it?)

My bad. I was assuming you were coding in VB.Net. I'm not sure if its a reservered word, as I am just learning JScript myself ;).

I'm actually proficient in vb.net, is it possible to write scripts in vb.net and then 'convert' them to jscript ? do you write scripts using vb.net ?

No idea. I'm guessing you would have to transcribe them yourself. Currently I am scripting in the 'Script Editor' that comes with Messenger Plus!, and researching the syntax on the net.

Edit:
Perhaps making a Class Library in VB.Net then calling the dll in JScript from w/e editor your using?
