Generating C# DLLs for VLC ActiveX plugin

[VlcUser1982]

I am developing in C# (.NET) and currently have a VLC ActiveX plugin working fine with an older version of VLC installed (1.0.5). A previous developer generated the necessary DLL in order to allow us to embed the ActiveX VLC player in our application (AxAXVLC.dll). It allows us to create instances of a class called "AxVLCPlugin2". Another necessary DLL we use, (AXVLC.dll), comes with VLC. But now I am wanting to upgrade to the latest version of VLC (1.1.5) and hence need to regenerate the AxAXVLC.dll for that version. Otherwise, the VLC player in our app does not work. Has anyone done this or know the procedure? Thanks.

Hello,
Why don't you use Vlc DotNet for WinForm & WPF ?

Hi,

I'm new to VLC development. I'd like to use VLC.Net.Forms to create and consume a plugin.

Would you please point me to some documentation and samples of how to do that.

Thanks,

Grant

Don't use the ActiveX for this.

At first we have to initialize VlcContext before loading VLC control on our form or code

[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
//Set libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll directory path
VlcContext.LibVlcDllsPath=CommonStrings.LIBVLC_DLLS_PATH_DEFAULT_VALUE_AMD64;
//Set the vlc plugins directory path
VlcContext.LibVlcPluginsPath=CommonStrings.PLUGINS_PATH_DEFAULT_VALUE_AMD64;

//Set the startup options
VlcContext.StartupOptions.IgnoreConfig = true;
VlcContext.StartupOptions.LogOptions.LogInFile = true;
VlcContext.StartupOptions.LogOptions.ShowLoggerConsole = true;
VlcContext.StartupOptions.LogOptions.Verbosity=VlcLogOptions.Verbosities.Debug;

//Initialize the VlcContext
VlcContext.Initialize();

Application.Run(new Form1());

//Close the VlcContext
VlcContext.CloseAll();
}
