Getting started with sound forge scripting -Sound Forge - Scripting

Subject:Getting started with sound forge scripting Posted by: DAve_ Date:5/27/2005 7:43:21 AM Hi all, I'm trying to get started with scripting, but really feel like I have jumped in the deep end, can anyone give me some pointers to start out. I'm looking at editing C# scripts (hopefully using visual studio .NET 2003) Building the DLL based on the sample code looks simple enough, but I'm interested in the ability to run a csh file straight from soundforge, as these will probably be easier to distibute to sound designers. How can I debug these scripts? Is it possible to use Visual Studio (as you can in VS.NET or word) so I can edit the script file with auto complete etc & add break points, or is it a case of back to the old school using printf's (or the c# equivelent)? Sorry if this is an obvious question but C# and scripting is all new to me ta, DAve

To start, open SF8, click on a new C# script, and it will give you several lines. Copy those into a new C# project in VS2003 to give you a quick start. You will need to add the reference to Forge80.Script.dll in your C# project. With that in place, code completion will also be available.

Use C#/Visual Studio to debug and create a DLL. This will give you auto-complete and all the other nifty tricks that Visual Studio provides. Here's the trick: design your project so that all your code lives within a single .cs file. When you're finished writing your code, distribute the .cs file instead of the DLL. It's as simple as that. We've included a sample C# script in the SDK to get you started. Hope this helps.

And on a Friday afternoon as well (well Friday afternoon in this part of the world ;o) ) Thanks very much to you both for your posts, hopefully I'll get my first script up and running soon. Cheers, DAve

Hi all,

I'm trying to get started with scripting, but really feel like I have jumped in the deep end, can anyone give me some pointers to start out.

I'm looking at editing C# scripts (hopefully using visual studio .NET 2003)

Building the DLL based on the sample code looks simple enough, but I'm interested in the ability to run a csh file straight from soundforge, as these will probably be easier to distibute to sound designers.

How can I debug these scripts? Is it possible to use Visual Studio (as you can in VS.NET or word) so I can edit the script file with auto complete etc & add break points, or is it a case of back to the old school using printf's (or the c# equivelent)?
