I am using the code straight out of slides 13-15 to create a plugin that will allow me to add a tab to my contact view. My problem is with the bit of code on slide 14 that reads:
I can't find any mention of a ContactDetailView class in the SDK and I can't compile until I figure out what's going on with that line. Am I missing something? I see the IContactDetailView interface, but I cannot find any implementation of that class. The sample code doesn't include the headers that would show me what assemblies are being referenced, so that doesn't help me either. Can any one point me in the right direction?
I'm pretty light on C# experience and this is my first forray into ACT! development, so I may be missing something obvious.
I can get the plugin to compile and work by commenting out the line containing ContactDetailView and the subsequent check for null, but I still don't know where that class is coming from or what that line of code is doing.
You'll be glad to know this looks like a very simple issue. There is no ContactDetailView class, there is a field for this but it's not relevant for this sample, ContactDetailView should be IContactDetailView, it looks as though it's just a typo in the slides, but I believe it should have also extracted a sample project, PluginAddTab.
when designing the plugin, is it possible to visually design the components rather than write code? or through loading a well designed windows form? how can i load a form if possible?
