Many of the C++ plug-in examples from the Maya devkit folder have been ported to C#. You can find example files in the devkit\dotnet folder of your Developer Kit installation. (See Setting up your build environment: Windows environment (64-bit).) The examples.sln and wpfexamples.sln solution files are provided. Each solution consists of one project.
One example not ported originally from C++ is the DAGExplorer example under the devkit\dotnet\wpfexamples folder of your Developer Kit installation. This example demonstrates several features of the .NET API including:
Compiling the examples
\[Recommended\] Copy devkit\dotnet into a working folder.
This step is not mandatory, but it is advisable to retain a copy of the original project files.
Compile the solution.
Each example solution consists of one project each, and generates an assembly with extension .nll.dll. After compiling, Visual Studio creates a $(SolutionDir)assemblies folder, and copies the target to this folder.
**Tip:** Many of the C# examples are ported from Maya’s C++ examples. You can refer to the equivalent C++ examples in this guide.
