C# Getting information from web

[chuiby]

In the past hours, I have been trying to make a plugin that will query a webserver to get a few informations from it. I haven't been able to get anything working at all... except getting the version & the copyright thingy displayed in the loaded DLLs window.

I am tired of messing with plugins and I would really need a working template project that actually returns info (Someone's project?).

I also have teamviewer if anyone is interested into helping me...

Things I've tried:
- I tried logging a test error message in every function... nothing shown up in the logs.
- Reading the C# Plugin API wiki
- Trying to understand the way plugins works under C++ (Since I couldn't find anything under C#)
- Getting help from IRC

Thanks.


Edit:

My ini file (Measure):

Code: Select all

[Measure_GetBandwidthUsage]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\Bandwidth.dll

[thatsIch]

Please give us more information like:
- which webserver
- which information
- the source of the bandwidth.dll

For the webserver... uhm it's not important. I can code that part.
And there's pretty much... no source at all.
I only need an example of a working C# plugin...

The plugin SDK contains both C++ and C# examples. Have you looked at them?

I did, well, I tried to, I couldn't see anything that could lead me anywhere.

What problems did you face? Did the examples fail to compile?

so what are you searching
and to where it should lead?

you are very unspecific with your requirements

I just need someone to show me what I have to do to make a working plugin under C#... a template or whatever you call it.

Okay so what I did.... I fetched Rainmeter's git (the plugins SDK one), I made a copy of PluginEmpty and tried many different things, I couldn't get it to work AT ALL.

After that, I tried making it log test messages from every function... nothing popped in rainmeter's logs.
