Hello,
Do you have a sample plug-in template for VB.net or C# or can you point to a resource.?
Thanks

VB.NET and C# cannot build ordinary DLLs which are capable of exporting standard Win32 calling convention functions. Thus, they cannot be used as InstallAware plug-ins.
Delphi.NET does let you build Win32 DLLs through a process known as Reverse P/Invoke; however in this case you have to make sure that the full .NET Runtime is installed before the plug-in ever gets called.
Thus its generally recommended to build plug-ins in a native Win32 language.
