How to call plugin from VB application

Yoshiyuki Kamiura

Is there a way to call the LegacyConverter plugin from the VB application? I appreciate it if you have sample code.
However, it is not necessary to launch the LegacyConverter screen, and only the conversion function of sdlxliff → TTX and
TTX → sdlxliff (folder or file name specification) are necessary.

    So your looking to use some of the components of the Legacy Converter from an external application you want to build in VB. For this you can do the following:

    1. Download the Legacy Converter from github (I think you already did this).

    2. Build the source code

    3. From your VB application add a reference to Sdl.Community.XliffReadWrite.dll and Sdl.Community.XliffToLegacyConverter.Core.dll

    4. Write your VB implementation by using the Legacy Converter. As example on how to use you can find here (in C#).

    I added specified reference setting and described the code. There is no compile error, but when executed, the following error was output.
    Is there a way to solve it?
    InnerException:
    HResult = -2146233088
    Message = No Application specific plug-in directory found.
    Source = Sdl.Core.PluginFramework
    StackTrace:
    at Sdl.Core.PluginFramework.DefaultPluginLocator..ctor()
    at Sdl.Core.PluginFramework.PluginManager.get_DefaultPluginRegistry()
    at Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.Integration.PocoFilterManager.LoadAllDefaultFileTypeDefinitions()
    at Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Framework.Integration.PocoFilterManager..ctor(Boolean autoLoadFileTypes)
    InnerException:

    Coding (part) is as follows.
    Dim sdlXliffReader As Sdl.Community.XliffReadWrite.Processor = New Sdl.Community.XliffReadWrite.Processor
    Dim Converter As Processor = New Processor ()
    Dim filename As String = "C:\work\aaa.sdlxliff"

    Sdl.Community.XliffReadWrite.Processor.ProcessorSettings.FilePathOriginal = filename
    Sdl.Community.XliffReadWrite.Processor.ProcessorSettings.FilePathUpdated = String.Empty

    Dim fileParagraphUnits = sdlXliffReader.ReadFileParagraphUnits () ← Error occurred　
    Converter.WriteTtx (filename + ".ttx", Sdl.Community.XliffReadWrite.Processor.ProcessorSettings.FilePathOriginal,
    　 FileParagraphUnits, sdlXliffReader.SourceLanguageCultureInfo, sdlXliffReader.TargetLanguageCultureInfo)
