[QUOTE="kyleh0000, post: 638202, member: 91207"] Hi All, Im looking for a bit of help in developing my plugin, im trying to work out how to implement the XML settings reader (at least i think thats what im after) I was reading about this in the developers guide... [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/AdvancedPluginDevelopmentTipsAndTricks#Configuration"]Tips and Tricks[/URL] // Read configuration settings using (Settings reader = new Settings(Config.GetFile(Config.Dir.Config, "mediaportal.xml"))) { setting = reader.GetValue("section_name", "setting_name"); } I asume what this does it read the xml config files from and returns the value. now i realise the above is not vb .net so i converted it and got this.. Using reader As New [B]Settings[/B](Config.GetFile(Config.Dir.Config, "mediaportal.xml")) setting = reader.GetValue("section_name", "setting_name") End Using however Visual Studio tells me that [B]Settings[/B] is not defined I asume this is because I do not have imported the correct references, however i have spent half a day trying to work out what is missing but so far have gotten no where :( I have added core.dll, dialoags.dll and utils.dll as it mentions in the doco, below are my import statements however i have tried every combination of them i can think of so im a bit stumped Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports System Imports MediaPortal.GUI.Library Imports MediaPortal.Dialogs Imports MediaPortal.Configuration Imports MediaPortal.Utils.Web Imports MediaPortal.Services Any help would be fantastic!
