Once you install the SDK you can find some sample applications in this location: C:\ProgramData\SDL\SDK 3.0

Also you can also have a look at this Studio plugins which are open-source:

Dear, Romulus Crisan

I have tried some of the files which is in the folder you recommended.
(C:\ProgramData\SDL\SDK 3.0)
And, Internet link too.
(GiHub)

But, Unfortunately both of them just gave me lots lots of reference errors.
I guss it's a fault of mine, but I can not figure it out.
Except this attemps (I mean, SDL API), everything else goes fine.
My Add-ins of VSTO works fine and other C# projects are all fine.

Can you figure out the reason why ?
My Visual Studio's reference folder is fine now.
(C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio3\)

Regards

Yap.

The dlls are in the right place. Can you please run Visual Studio as administrator and see if the reference issue is there?

Also what is your .Net target framework?

Dear, Romulus Crisan

Target framework is ".NET Framework 4".
I've been following exactly what your HELP File talking about.


>Right-click the program icon or shortcut, and then click "Run as administrator".
And, Open the same problomatic Plug-ins practice file. --> No, differences. The same ref. errors.

"The type or namespace name 'TranslationStudioAutomation'
does not exist in the namespace 'Sdl'
(are you missing an assembly reference?)" listed several time in the error box at the bottom side of the screen.

I have for .cs files in it. I do not know which is which, so I used one of them(which has the longest file name).

MyTranslationProvider.cs
MyTranslationProviderFactory.cs
MyTranslationProviderLanguageDirection.cs
MyTranslationProviderWinFormsUI.cs

Ah,
I have a minor alert message which goes like this;
"
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The 'PowerToolsCommandsPackage' package did not load correctly.
The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or
by the installation of another extension.
You can get more information by examining the file
'C:\Users\Naah\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
Continue to show this error message?
"

There are soo many "this/that Power Tools.." that I do not know which is which.

And the location it points, has nothing "more information".
It has almost same information as in alert message itself.

The warning you receive is not related to the Studio API rather is related to your Visual Studio installation. To fix it have a look here:

The build error you received is because for some reason the reference to the Studio API dll's is not ok. Can you please try and remove them and then add them manually again from the Program Files studio folder? If you don't know how to add references have a look here:
