Would You Like to Develop an Add-in for WHS Vail?

A few days ago we mentioned the WHS Vail SDK, now fellow MVP Nick Asseloos has published a guide to creating your very first Vail add-in.

In the past Nick has produced other guides on creating add-ins for Windows Home Server, so you can be sure it’s worth having a look at.

Vail SDK Guide

Nick says this about it:

– It is still very basic, just plain and simple.
– It is not fit for any production system.
– It’s only inteded for developers that want to have a try at starting to create an add-in. Nothing fancy yet.
– The installation mechanism isn’t described yet. Only how to configure your system to start coding, code a sample and test it on your server.

But it should get you on your way to start getting your hands dirty in the new Vail SDK. Have fun!

So go have a look and try out developing your first add-in, and then let us know how you got on.

  1. Thank you Nick!

    It's simple but that is good, as it means it's simple enough for me to have a try! 😉

  2. I tried with VS 2010 and couldnt really get it to install. The release process is very rushed through and not explained and thats were it all broke down for me.
