Using C# with After Effects CS4 SDK?

[cdgary]

I'm a C# developer and intersted in learning After Effects CS4 SDK.  What scripting language is used with After Effects CS4 SDK?  Is it possible to use C#.

[shachar carmi]

the SDK is written in C and C++.

as far as i know, you can't mix c/c++ with c# in the same project (at least in visual studio).

you can however, create class libraries in C# and reference them in the c++ code.

you can even go as far as creating separate DLL written in c# and reference it from the c++ code.

those are the two ways i can think of for mixing languages in the use of AE's SDK.

This is something, I have always wondered. Integrate code written in a

different language. I see very cool libraries in many languages, but it's

not that easy to bring 'em to AE supported code or something. I would be

amazed if someone could pull off a Java backend (not JVM, but compiled). I

heard from AE veterans that there used to be a Python binding for AE sdk

called "Useful things". I wonder if its still possible to do something like

that. Because it will be so easy to test and prototype new ideas.
