第一個Windows Live Writer plugin "Hello World" (sample code)

這裡敘述的Hello Wolrd主要是利用Ben Hall的一篇文章Windows Live Writer Plugin - Hello World!。 (Related code and article refer from this)

必要工具:

• Visual Studio (這裡用的是2005)

• 安裝過的Window Live Writer (這裡裝的是最新版B14.0.8089)

詳細流程:

• 開啟Visual Studio(2005)，選取C# Project的Class Library。

• 講兩個需要用的reference 加入參考，首先打開”References” 按下右鍵。”Add References”

• 加入一個”System.Windows.Forms”在COM裡面，此外再加入一個額外Windows Live Writer API DLL。選取”Browse”然後點選C:Program FilesWindows LiveWriterWindowsLive.Writer.Api.dll。

• 加入以下的source code. (This source modify from Ben Hall’s article)

  using System.Windows.Forms;
  </br>using WindowsLive.Writer.Api;
  </br>
  </br>namespace LiveWriterHelloWorld
  </br>{
  </br> [WriterPluginAttribute
  </br> (“2f437bf1-fe57-41c8-931a-d20066ea174e”, “Hello World!”,
  </br> PublisherUrl = “http://wlwextensionlearning.blogspot.com/”,
  </br> Description = “Insert Hello World! into the blog post”)]
  </br> [InsertableContentSourceAttribute(“Hello World!”, SidebarText = “Hello World!”)]
  </br> public class HelloWorldPlugin : ContentSource
  </br> {
  </br> public override DialogResult CreateContent(IWin32Window dialogOwner, ref string content)
  </br> {
  </br> content = “Hello World!”;
  </br>
  </br> return DialogResult.OK;
  </br> }
  </br> }
  </br>}
  </br>

• 複製DLL到C:Program FilesWindows LiveWriterPlugins 然後重新啟動Windows Live Writer應該就會看到這個新的plugin.

• 直接按下去就會跑出 “Hello World”
