Hi,
I've got a very annoying problem with visual studio since a few weeks.  I can't use windows messenger's api functions anymore. For exemple, when I load the exemple template for visual basic.net (MPAdvPluginVB), I've got an error at the line :
Public Shared WithEvents oMessenger As MessengerAPI.MessengerClass

Error is : Name 'MessengerAPI' is not declared.

When I look at the references, there is an exclamation mark in front of MessengerAPI.

I tryed to reinstall msn and msgplus, without any result.

Do you know where this problem come from, and a way to fix it ? Is there a way to uninstall windows messenger so I can reinstall it ?

that just sets the with.

in Visual Basic 6.0  i remember having to use something like

code:

---

Set oMessenger as New Messenger.MessengerAPI

---

on a form load or button click.

i dont know if you need to set it as a new one in .Net, maybe you could muck around with the code i stated

i hope you figure it out anyway .

In .net you need a reference to an interop dll but i think thats included with the plugin sample.
Check it out. Go to:
Project>>Show all files>> then open the references folder.
And you should have MessengerAPI or interopMessengerAPI in there,

yes, but that wouldn't do any good and isn't needed. Just reinstall Windows Messenger on top...

I reinstalled Windows Messenger on top (I thought that would not work since it don't work with mediaplayer) and the problem is fixed ^_^
Well, seems that was easy
Thanks
