Remarks

The plugin manifest file tells Virtual Radar Server information about your plugin without having to load the plugin DLL. It can be used to make a decision about whether the plugin can be loaded or not.

The file has to be in the same folder as the plugin DLL and have the same filename as the dll but with an extension of .xml

Examples

The manifest file is XML and an example is laid out below. Please refer to the various properties of this class for an explanantion of the different elements:
