The Visual Studio projects located in the SamplePlugIn and DeviceImagingSimulator folders must be opened and compiled using Visual Studio. The Device Manager 2011 SDK includes Visual Studio templates that can help you to develop device imaging components. For information on how to install these templates so that they are available in Visual Studio, see How to: Locate and Organize Project and Item Templates .

Open and compile the Visual Studio projects in the SamplePlugIn and DeviceImagingSimulator folders using Visual Studio. The Device Manager 2011 reference file EDM.DeviceImaging.PluginInterface.dll is located in the installation directory of the Device Manager 2011 server. The default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Embedded Device Manager Server\EDM.DeviceImaging.PluginInterface.dll.

Note:
The SamplePlugIn project folder contains a file, PrivateAndPublicKeyFile.snk, which signs SamplePlugin.dll as a strong-named assembly. Using strong names for assemblies is required by the Device Imaging service, and registering a .dll without a strong name will cause an error when you restart the Device Imaging service. For more information about strong names and signing of assemblies, see Creating and Using Strong-named Assemblies on MSDN.
