Hey everyone
I've been working on this for a while, and I think it's finally in a usable beta state. Basically, Sharpamp is a combination of a .NET library for accessing Winamp, and a C# template for Visual Studio, allowing you to easily create Winamp plugins in C#. C# doesn't let you make "normal" DLLs, so a small C++ wrapper is needed, but it is included in the template (and most of the time, you won't have to edit it or anything).
Take a look, and tell me what you think: code.google.com/p/sharpamp/. Be sure to read the getting started guide at code.google.com/p/sharpamp/wiki/GettingStarted, as it explains some important details.
I think one of the best things is how simple it is to handle song changes. No need to mess around with sending messages or anything. Sharpamp simply uses standard C# events, so you can do something like this:

Something like this is very simple to create.
Please report any bugs! In particular, I've only tested it on Windows 7 64-bit, and Windows XP 32-bit. I'd like to know people's experiences with Sharpamp on Vista, as well as with Visual Studio versions other than 2008 (2005 or 2010 beta, for example).
Enjoy!

A GUI sample plugin is included, that looks like:code:
// In the initialise function:
Winamp.SongChanged += SongChanged;
// And elsewhere in the class:
private void Winamp_SongChanged(object sender, Daniel15.Sharpamp.SongChangedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("The song changed to " + e.Song.Title);
}
