writing SDPlugins

from JoeUser Forums
In the desktopx documentation (https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/SDPLugin/SDPlugin.html)
it says that you can write sdplugins for desktopx using any programming language, can anybody tell me how to use vb.net or c#.net to write sdplugins, or give me the url of anything that might be helpful?

Emphisis added.
In order to use the stdcall calling convention in needs to be unmanaged code. Currently only c++ supports unmanaged code from the compiler. There are hacks to get a C# and VB.NET DLL to use the stdcalll convention but it is just that a Hack

You wanted a link so here it is.

All though not for DesktopX, Littleboy wrote a nifty utility to let you write docklets in .NET language. You could ask him if he has got any plans for DX plugins. http://thomthom.wincustomize.com/viewskin.aspx?SID=5330&skinid=6013&libid=29&UID=509772
