Trados is not loading the plugin when rebuilding

Delfina Jovanovska
 I am having trouble debugging plugins  when rebuilding with SDL Trados 2011 and Visual Studio 2010.
According to the documentation about Build and Debug suggestions:
I used this command to delete previous unpacked version of the plugin and use the latest version:

rmdir /S /Q "C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\10\Plugins\Unpacked\Sdl.Sdk.FileTypeSupport.Samples.Bil"
or I deleted it manually.
After making changes and rebuilding, Trados was not detecting that there is a plug in at all but the plugin itself was at:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\10\Plugins\Packages
and the package was present at:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\10\Plugins\Unpacked\
Any idea why this could be happening?

    Hi Delfina,

    Here is an answer from an SDL development architect;

    If the Packages folder is created, and contains an sdlplugin file, the cause

    is most likely a reference to a non-validated Sdl dll. If, for example, you try

    to do some term lookup in the modified bil sample, and add a reference to

    Sdl.MultiTerm.TMO.Interop (and actually use it), the plugin won't load, and

    won't tell you why. The lack of a notification for the developer is unfortunate

    in that case... The list of valid public API dlls can be found here:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio2\pluginconfig.xml

    Also keep in mind that you have to delete the "Unpacked" folder every

    time you rebuild a plugin; Trados Studio will _not_ unpack the new version

    if there already is an unpacked one.

    Hi Ian,

    I was able to narrow down the issue with rebuilding and invalud dll.

    The problem is actually related to this question:

    community.sdl.com/.../780.aspx

    In the workaround you suggest there, I added the Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.Implementation in my solution and in the class I just  included

    using Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.Integration;

    because as noticed the Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.Integration is not present as a dll to be included.

    The line that is causing the issue is the suggested solution:

    importer.FileTypeManager = new PocoFilterManager(true)

    At the point when I it ,the new unpacked file gets created at the right location but it is not detected by the plugin and the plugin is no longer added.

    Please advise.
