The sample code is old and is based on an old API.
Some functions are now private or internal.

// In MyPlugins.rhp

using Rhino.PlugIns;
public class MyRhinoPlugin : PlugIn
{
    protected override void CreateCommands ()
    {
        base.CreateCommands ();
        foreach (var cmd in MyLib.CreateCommands ())
            RegisterCommand (cmd);
    }
}

// In referenced assembly MyLib.dll

using Rhino.Commands;
public static class MyLib
{
    public static Command[] CreateCommands ()
    {
        return new [] { new MyCommandA (), new MyCommandB () };
    };
}

public class MyCommandA : Command { ... }
public class MyCommandB : Command { ... }
