API usage

SETUP

First download the dll, or compile the project to get the API dll. Next start a new class library project. Next add a reference to System.ComponentModule.Composition and the API Add a using statement for System.ComponentModule.Composition and a using statement for returnzork.BackupV3_API

Coding

1. change the public class Class1 to class Class1 : BackupV3API
2. Above the new interface, add [Export(typeof(BackupV3API))]
3. in the interface method, add 5 methods. Method 1: public string Author() Method 2: public string Version() Method 3: public string Name() Method 4: public void Work(string[] imports) Method 5: public void Interface()

Method 1 returns the author name, Method 2 returns the version number (with a string, not an int) Method 3 returns the plugin Name (should be a brief description) Method 4 is the work that this plugin does Method 5 is an interface for your plugin, for a settings menu etc.

Now you should have:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.ComponentModel.Composition; using returnzork.BackupV3_API;

namespace Plugin_2 { [Export(typeof(BackupV3API))] class Class1 : BackupV3API { public string Author() { return "author"; }

    public string Version()
    {
        return "version number";
    }

    public string Name()
    {
        return "plugin name";
    }

    public void Work(string[] imports)
    {
    }

    public void Interface()
    {
    }
}

}
