7. Copy the PostBuild.bat file from the
LonWorks\ObjectServer\Examples\PluginFramework\ExampleCSPlugin to your project folder.
8. In the Post-build event command line property, enter the following line:
Call "$(ProjectDir)PostBuild.bat" "$(TargetPath)"
The PostBuild.bat file will carry out the post-build actions necessary to register your plug-in
during the development process. Specifically, it generates a COM Type Library and registers the
assembly for use with COM using RegAsm /tlb, and it registers the plug-in with LNS directors by
calling the plug-in with a /RegPlugin argument.
9. In the Run the post-build event property, select the When the build updates the project output
