.Net Wrapper for Google Desktop Search

23 Mar, 2005 — Google, Microsoft, Release

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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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!
