WDTU Client Add-in
Let's create a Client Add-in for WDTU. We want to add an MP3 player to the Playlist page to allow the user to preview songs on the Playlist. The following screenshot shows what it will look like when we're done (our MP3 player FactBox is circled):
To accomplish this, we will create a Visual Studio 2012 or higher .NET assembly (.dll
) utilizing the Windows Media Player.
To start, we are going to open Visual Studio 2013 and create a New Project. For a template, select Visual C# - Windows Class Library. Make sure the .NET Framework selected is 4.5 or higher. Name the solution WDTUplayer, and place in a directory we can access later (we'll use C:\Temp\). Check the Create directory for solution option.
In order to access the .dll
in NAV, we need to create a Strong Key Name (SNK). To do this in Visual Studio, go to the menu for Project and select WDTUPlayer Properties.
Select the Signing option on the left:
Then Checkmark the Sign the Assembly option...
