  Using Visual Studio 2005 for Vegas scripts

  Posted by Apostleofzion on July 17, 2007 at 10:11 am

  hi ,
  VS 2005 Express edition for C# is available as a free download from microsoft. This particualrly targets .Net 2.0 framework. Since Vegas 7 script uses c# language.It should be really useful and fast to use VS 2005 c# Express.

  When creating a windows form application ,we get 4 files. Form1.cs(to code action for form buttons&events) ,Form1.Designer.cs(pre built code for the form creation) , Program.cs(to start the program),AssemblyInfo.cd (for assembly ).

  In Vegas scripting we have the Clas EntryPoint with the public function FromVegas (). I don’t know where to include this function in those files to create a dll for the Sony Vegas 7.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Take a look at Vol 4 #3 of my newsletters. It should give you enough info on where to put that. If not, let me know and I’ll help you out.

  hi edward ,
  In that newsletter you have mentioned a file called Interop.VegasCOM.DLL which would be found in the Vegas 6.0 folder. But I’m using Vegas 7 , i couldn’t find that file in Vegas 7 folder .Although i was able to add reference for the Sony.Vegas.dll in VS 2005 C# through the project properties.
  And you have given the link for the project file . I assume that project was done in VS “2003” .But i when i opened in VS 2005 , it converted the project . and gave two missing refernces out which the one mentioned in the top is not found. the other one ” Sony.Vegas.dll “was found and i added it .
  so i deleted the other reference and it works.
  Thanks for the article edward.Hope this clarifies any doubts regarding using VS2005 for vegas.

  You are correct. That file is not necessary to add at this time.

  [apostleofzion] “so i deleted the other reference and it works.”

  Glad to hear you got it working.

  Vegas 5 used VS2003. Vegas 6 did as well. With Vegas 7, you can, technically, use either. To have a single version for versions 6 and 7, I stuck with VS2003. If you’re only going to be working in Vegas 7 or newer, VS2005 is what you need.
