Add third-party dll for grasshopper plugin

Grasshopper Developer
1

Is it possible to add third-party dll as reference while developing plugin for rhino5.0(64bit)? - Grasshopper (grasshopper3d.com)
I want to use the NetMQ package in a grasshopper plugin, it unfortunatelly does not work right now.
I guess I am missing something obvious from the documentation.

Can someone please help with this?

Thanks in advance

NetMQ example code (taken from README) added to default “ASpi” / “archimedean spiral” component’s SolveInstance method.

Also read: Load external library - Grasshopper Developer - McNeel Forum, Rhino - Your First Component (Windows) (rhino3d.com), but they didn’t help for the problem.

Same happens when I try to use it from a C# script component (using statements are added):

As mentioned in this post, I explicitly set the platform target to 64bit, but the result is still the same.

Here is the C# project / VS solution:

There can be multiple things:

  • is the .dll 64 bit
  • is the .dll .NET core or .NET framework
  • is the current .dll dependent on other dlls.

The issue seems to be netstandard: Azure Table Storage from C# Component - #3 by DavidRutten

I couldn’t make any zmq lib work for C#, so I’ll go for Python in combination with the Hops component:
