RE: CBus xAP Plugin ?

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, yes, now I think on, I knew that, - but the problem for me
was learning the changes that I need to make to the current plugin code to
make it compliant... - it sort of half works without any modifcation, so I
suspect the changes shouldn't be that radical... I'm aware that a number of
Homeseer API calls are different... Plus the plugin currently uses VB
forms, and I would have absolutely no idea where to even think about
starting to change them to web forms...

I downloaded the HS2 SDK and the source VS.NET project examples provided
are different file formats to Visual Studio 6. - can't remember exactly
what, but they weren't the .VBP and .VBW files etc. that VS6 recognised...
- I therefore couldn't even open the example code to look at the structure
& start learning....

UCM and the Homeseer-Comfort plugin, I believe you should be able control
& monitor CBUS groups from Homeseer.. - At least I hope so, since I
plan to set just this up over the Easter break...

but I've had no luck so far trying to get a (preferably legit!) copy of
VB.NET that I can use to learn the new development environment on...

I don't believe you need .VB.net for a HS2 plugin although I understand
there are some advantages.. The xAP plugin is still written in VB6 but
it has been rewritten to be HS2 compatible.
