you've unchecked the plugin?

hrm... this isn't working.

just running something like this in the script editor:

[code]
var obj = new ActiveXObject("FIEMuscleSystem2.SimplePolyMuscle");
obj.pickMuscleCurve();
[/code]

it runs fine but once its run I can't seem to free the dll.

I used the "Unload Unused ActiveX" button in the plugin manager but it
doesn't seem to be doing any good.

I'm not doing anything with self installing plugins (yet) so there is
nothing to explicitly unload.

Anyone have an idea as to how to force this?

I wonder if this is a dotnet garbage collection issue... ?

to release the dll, go to the plugins manager and unload from there.

Keep up the good work!

You are now hearing from me :)

It works.

In otherwords... I got the following .cs file to work.

[code]
/*

*/

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using XSI = SI3DOBJECTMODELLIB;
namespace XSIHelloWorld
{

public interface IXSIHelloWorld{

void callMe();

}

[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)]
public class XSIHelloWorld : IXSIHelloWorld{

public void callMe(){
XSI.CXSIApplicationClass app = new XSI.CXSIApplicationClass();
((XSI.Application) app).LogMessage("HELLO XSI WORLD!",
XSI.siSeverity.siInfo);

}

}
}
[/code]

The important thing here is that the c# code is calling into the XSI COM
type libraries directly and is being called through scripting.

So umm... yea. Wow. AWESOME! WOO HOO! HOORAY!

I'm going to spend some time over the next few days trying to streamline
this execution environment to make it easy to install and all that jazz.
Then I'll publish it to make it accessible.

BTW, I have run into one slightly annoying problem. Once you create the
activex object, XSI holds onto it and makes recompiling the DLL impossible
until you close XSI. What would be the best way to force the activex object
to be destroyed and get the DLL unloaded? So I can keep from having to
reload XSI every time I want to compile? Or is this impossible? Any
thoughts?
