Create a grasshopper component on visual studio

Hello grasshopper community,

I'm trying to create a grasshopper component in visual studio. I use Visual Studio community 2017. The problem is that I can't use "Grasshopper Assembly for v5" because it's not compatible with "VS 2017".

Do you know how I can resolve this problem ?

Then I'm a beginner, so someone can advise me some good tutorials which works with Visual Studio 2017 ?

Thanks a lot in advence.

Mathis

The VS 2017 template for Rhino 6 also works for rhino 5, you can get it here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=McNeel.Grasshop...

Your probably see rhinocommon.dll where are all the main functions of rhino.

And you can reference yourself grasshopper.dll.

Hi Anas,
at the visual studio Solution Explorer, right click on References -> Add reference ->Browse.
Then go to Grasshopper.dll :

It is here on my machine,
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\Plug-ins\Grasshopper (b45a29b1-4343-4035-989e-044e8580d9cf)\0.9.75.0"

Select Grasshopper.dll -> open.

You don't have to start the project, just build it and goto :
C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\YourProjectName\YourProjectName\bin
you will find a component there, copy it to Grasshopper Canvas.

That's all

Best wishes my friend.
