This is a template for Notepad++ plugins written in C#. The vast majority of the code (certainly all the parts that were really hard to implement) come from kbilsted's now-archived NotepadPlusPlusPluginPack.Net, with some significant changes, including:
- A simpler architecture in which the PluginInfrastructure folder is side-by-side with the rest of the plugin's code, rather than in a separate directory tree.
- An example of a non-docking (pop-up) dialog opened from the plugin menu, a docking form, and a non-docking non-pop-up form.
- A settings form that makes it easy for the maintainer to add, remove or edit settings.
- A template for automated tests that can be run inside Notepad++, including a template for user interface tests that automatically test forms.
If you have any issues, see if updating to the latest release helps, and then feel free to raise an issue on GitHub. Please be sure to include diagnostic information about your system, Notepad++ version, and plugin version (go to ?->Debug Info... from the Notepad++ main menu).

- Kasper B. Graversen for creating the plugin pack that this is based on.
- jokedst for making the CsvQuery plugin to which I owe the original ideas behind my settings form and my adaptive styling of forms.
- And of course, Don Ho for creating Notepad++!
