.Net Wrapper for Google Desktop Search
I’ve been reading the Google Desktop Developer Forums pretty often, partly to see what people have to say about my Spindle Search plugin, and partly to help whenever I can.
I realized that a lot of C# / .Net developers are reinventing the wheel when writing code for interoperating with the Google COM object. So I thought, why not separate that into a library (I already had the code written as part of Spindle Search.)
So there’s now a new project, .Net Wrapper for Google Desktop Search, on my site.
True geek at heart :)

Nice job on the wrapper. I had written a C# pluggin myself and used the french article by Aleks as reference. http://www.dotnet-project.com/Modules/Articles/VoirArticles.aspx?ID=25 Good article other than I don’t speak french. Thank goodness for google translation. Anyway, great job on the wrapper. Would have saved me some time.

I’m getting an exception using the API. I posted it on your forums: could you please check it out?
Great idea by the way and thanks!

As you are a GDS plugin developer (and fellow M$ despiser!), maybe you can help with a small question. I have GDS installed and several GDS plugins. I need to uninstall GDS and reinstall it (don’t ask, *disableshortfilenamesonnt*, *cough*), however will I need to uninstall the plugins and then uninstall GDS, or will GDS rediscover all the installed plugins after I reinstall it? I have searched high and low on the net for an answer, but to no avail; so I’m trying some human contact…
Regards!
