Hi Pete, 1) You'll be wanting to write scripts inside the VB Component. You should only use VB Express (or pro) f you intend to write your own components. This is much more difficult and since we haven't frozen the SDK yet I don't recommend getting into that yet.
2) No. Well... yes, if you know how*. But it's not going to help you much. The code inside 'real' components is nothing like code inside the script components. When writing real components one has a far greater responsibility to maintain data fidelity and read and assign inputs and outputs. Once the Grasshopper SDK has settled down we'll probably release some documentation, example code and wizards for creating custom components, but this is months away at the very earliest. -- David Rutten [email protected] Robert McNeel & Associates * Knowing how involves reverse engineering DotNET assemblies.
