I want to write a simple hello world add in for Media Center on Windows 7, but I am having problems finding up to date functional documentation. I found this page: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mcreasy/archive/2004/10/12/241449.aspx which looks to be exactly what I need. I implemented it and some of the interfaces it references are marked as obsolete, and even so when I try to launch it in media center is just pops up a dialog saying "unable to launch addin"
I updated the namespace interfaces from using Microsoft.MediaCenter.AddIn to using Microsoft.MediaCenter.Hosting which looks to be the up to date namespace according to the sdk docs, but I still have the same problem.
registering the assembly with the gac and with RegisterMCEApp both are successful, and I have unregistered and registered from both places in between builds.
I strongly signed the assembly with a .snk file and got the public key token to update the registration.xml
Can anyone either tell me what I am doing wrong or direct me to some up to date tutorial /docs?
Here is the little bit of code I have:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.MediaCenter.Hosting;
namespace MCPluginTakeTwo
{
public class HelloWorldAddIn: MarshalByRefObject, IAddInModule, IAddInEntryPoint
{
public void Initialize(Dictionary<string, object> appInfo, Dictionary<string, object> entryPointInfo)
{
}
public void Uninitialize()
{
}
public void Launch(AddInHost host)
{
}
}
}
