Plugin Development
Immediacy plugins are esssentially ASP.NET controls. We've
added a few optional additional features to plugins to make
them more user friendly than standard .NET controls.
In Immediacy, ASP.NET server or user controls can be used
seemlessly to access databases, XML webservices or any other
functionality that is possible with ASP.NET. Off the shelf .NET
controls can be used within Immediacy or bespoke plugins can be
developed in any programming language supported by .NET.
An Immediacy extension to standard .NET controls allows
developers to attach a graphical user interface (GUI) to a
plugin. This interface can be presented to content authors in
the Immediacy editor allowing developers to build advanced custom
functionality that can be leveraged by non-technical authors.
The power and simplicity of plugin development has always been a
strong selling point with Immediacy and one of the reasons we
have acheived so many successful implementations.
