Toolbar examples for c# development

Dale,

I understand that the c++ sdk needs vs2010 and was thinking that because I don’t have access to 2010 I might be missing some documentation. I also understand that rhino common and the .dll files from rhino and gh and the gh sdk are the primary development resources for c# so I apologize if my comments caused any confusion.

From looking around I believe that the development process for a rhino plugin that uses a custom toolbar icon (ie. an icon designed to accompany the application being written) to launch has three development steps as mentioned in this post [ here ]

The post outlines three steps (ie. 1, compile in vs // 2. zip the compiled .rhp file with other files // 3. rename the zip as an .rhi). Is this right or does that only apply to ‘rhinoscript’?

Another question:

I understand from reading this post [ here ] that RUI files can be created directly in Rhino. If so what is the RUI file and are there any examples or specifications for building toolbars with custom icons. I ask because it isn’t clear if an RUI file is a application wide file (ie. produces a complete toolbar set or if it will produce a single toolbar to accompany my application when installed by a user).

I am sorry to ask so many questions - Its hard to find documentation and examples.
