Hi again folks!

In order to make this topic as public as possibel, I'll post here the conversation I had with Manas Tungare, who developed an excelent C# wrapper to work with GDS (and also the very cool Spindle Search!). Here follows:

"Hi Manas.

Great job man on the C# wrappers for GDS! Congrats. Listen, I think you may give me a help here, I'm kinda newb to this Google API stuff and COM too. I'm developing a c# application that it is to be my graduation's final essay and it consists on a knowledge base application. The core of the app is to be the indexing/searching engine, and after a lot of investigation I think there is nothing better than GDS on this field. So I thought I could integrate GDS with my app. However, I cannot seem to be able to integrate the C++ API with my app. I've tried to add a reference to your wrappers and now I can create a class called GoogleDesktopSearchClass and another one called GoogleDesktopSearchRegisterClass. But what then? The classes have no methods that index or search? My idea was to do the following: - When I installed my application, it would install GDS as part of the instalation process; - When a user added a file to the repository, I would create a GDS class and pass it to be indexed; - When a user seached the repository, I would pass the query to GDS and handle the XML result, showing the results within my repository.

I have the idea that your classes are more appliable to registering a plugin with GDS, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Can you help me out here? Would be greatly appreciated... :P" Cheers.
