 | Unbroken.LaunchBox.Plugins Namespace |
The interfaces in this namespace all represent a particular plugin type that can be built for LaunchBox/Big Box.
Pick the interface that best matches what you're trying to achieve, and create a class that inherits from that interface. Then simply build your DLL, put it in the LaunchBox\Plugins folder (or the subsequent Plugins folder inside of a Big Box theme), and test it out!
The PluginHelper static class can be used to get access to LaunchBox data from within any plugin.
