Re: xFx Plugins - C# 2005 Express

I have been playing around with the NewEmailOSD plugin, also with
VS2005 Express.  I saw the same problem, but I was able to get around
it by downloading the Source for the xapframework and xapframework gui
runtime, then re-compiling them in order (ex. xapframework, copy dll
files to gui refrences, compiled gui, copied resources to plugin,
compiled.  Only had to deal with a few changes in the schema for the
email, and compiles get a few warnings about obsolete methods which
should be cleaned up but don't hurt anything right now.

I was able to get the plugin working though.
