Module creation using a C# Project

[bfalcao]

Hi there,

I am investigating how to create a new FS2004 module using C#.

Does anyone can help me and show me /link me an example ?

Thank you.

There are very good examples in the C# .NET SDK, available as part of the FSUIPC SDK.

I'd suggest you download the SDK, look at the libraries, and the examples provided.

Indeed they are but the example to create a new module (and show a popup window) is made in C.

Also, I saw a post here about someone who developped in Delphi.

But I want to do it in C#Can anyone help me ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I made some progresses in the C example, but I have a doubt.

BOOL WINAPI DllMain(HINSTANCE hInstDLL, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved)

{

switch (fdwReason) {

case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:

hFSimWindow = FindWindow("FS98MAIN", NULL);

oldWndProc = (WNDPROC)SetWindowLong(hFSimWindow, GWL_WNDPROC, (LONG)FSimWindowProc);

break;

}

return TRUE;

}

Does anyone knows how to refer the entry point on the C# DLL based on that code ?

You can't load a C# based DLL inside of Flight Sim, it has no knowledge of things Managed/CLR. That's why the FSUIPC example of a loadable module is only in C, because it has to be a standard PE format DLL, not a managed one, in order to load inside FS.

The reason someone was able to do the same with Delphi is because it still generates standard PE format DLLs - you can basically use any langauge that generates standard PE format DLLs, heck back in FS95 & FS98 several of the standard FS modules were still written in assembler :->
