ASCOM Platform 7 Project Templates (VS2022)

This extension installs a set of project templates for Visual Studio 2022 that facilitate creation of ASCOM local server drivers and test applications. The templates contain all interface members and compile cleanly out of the box.

This release creates drivers that implement the updated ASCOM Platform 7 interfaces and generated projects require ASCOM Platform 7 in order to to compile.

Latest Changes

1. Removed redundant frmMain form from the local server to eliminate a minimised window being displayed that had no functionality.
2. Improved Connect(), Disconnect() and Connecting members to operate correctly with the Connected property. This also gives a clean Conform Universal test out of the box.

Earlier changes

1. Fixed a logic error in the HardwareClass.Disconnct method.
2. Added further notes on how to customise the hardware class when implementing the driver.
