C# .Net Write plug-ins for windows live writer and my plugins cant be loaded
posted

I'm new in .Net and I'm now trying to write a plugin for windows live writer because I prefer to publish blogs using it rather than using the web editors. And I want to develop some small plugins for my daily use. But after I created a class libarary project and built it following the steps as some developers described, the WLW does not load the plugin so I don't know how to debug.

A simple code snippet:

using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Text;
using
WindowsLive.Writer.Api;
using
System.Windows.Forms;

namespace
Insert_Colorful_Table
{
   
[WriterPluginAttribute
       
("f7581112-dddd-47c9-9db0-46987a2aaae1",
       
"Insert Colorful Table",
       
Description = "Helps you create a beautiful table.",
       
ImagePath = "icon.gif",        
       
PublisherUrl = "http://ggicci.blog.163.com")]
   
[InsertableContentSource("Insert Colorful Table")]

   
public class Plugin : ContentSource
   
{
       
public override DialogResult CreateContent
           
(IWin32Window dialogOwner, ref string content)
       
{
            content
= @"<table><tr><td>Ggicci</td></tr></table>";
           
return DialogResult.OK;
       
}
   
}
}

I did configure the 'Build Events' of the project and set the 'Build Action' of the image to 'Embedded Resource'. And no errors occured when building my project.
