Just noticed this ..
not sure how long it's been available, and haven't had a good look at it yet.

You found it then. Its only been up for a week or so. I was going to announce it here when it was complete.

Its in Beta right now - the accompanying videos will be ready soon. Feel free to email comments to myfirstplugin@autodesk.com (or discuss it here, of course :-)). All feedback gratefully received - good or bad.

BTW For anyone interested in Revit or Inventor programming, this follows on from the My First Plug-in tutorials for those products. You can find links at www.autodesk.com/developrevit and www.autodesk.com/developinventor.

Looks like the samples and tutorials favour VB.Net ...

Stephen,
when the bugs are ironed out can the samples be provided in C# as well as vb to save beginning C# customisers having to translate the code.

If necessary I (or  someone here) can convert the code for members here,  but I believe including the source with your downloads would be better.

Thanks for the iniative.

Regards
kdub.

Sigh! You C# guys and your semi-colon addictions  8-).

C# versions of the projects will be added eventually (after I've received enough feedback to be confident I don't have to edit too much of the VB.NET code), but I may not create a C# version of the webpages. I continue to hold the opinion that VB.NET is more suited to someone learning programming for the first time by working through tutorials like this - the code is that much more readable for mere mortals.

Sorry, I forgot it was aimed at mortals.   :lmao:

I thought I noticed C# code in either the Inventor or Revit section.

Bring on the VB!! Generally speaking, VB is easier to translate to C# than vice versa.

There, I said it. :laugh:

I Jumped (am jumping?) straight from Visual LISP --> VB.NET  :evil:

I still want to learn C# syntax (for personal edification), however I went with VB.NET when I started learning the .NET API for the simple reason that it was easier to read, and was more closely 'written' with the familiar syntax of Visual LISP (ActiveX --> VBA --> VB.NET).

If you can code in VB or C#, you can learn the other in a weekend.
 
It is getting to know the framework that takes time.

FINALLY!!!  Right up my alley.  It gets tiring seeing all of the C-base code samples and trying to translate to VB.

Thanks!!
