Namespaces

Libraries of classes are categorized using Namespaces. vvvv provides a small collection of useable classes, .net itself comes with a huge collection of ready to use classes.

note:
If you use a namespace which is documented in one of the following class references and get an error after saving your plugin, you once have to add a reference to the namespace's dll in vvvv (see below).

The VVVV namespace

Complete vvvv class library reference

Especially useful are:

  • VVVV.Utils.VMath: for all stuff not found in System.Math
  • VVVV.Utils.Animation: provides a Particle baseclass

The .NET namespace

Complete .net3.5 class library reference
Complete .net4.0 class library reference

Especially useful are:

  • System.Collections.Generic: List, Dictionary<TKey, TValue>
  • System.Collections: IEnumerable
  • System.XML: for xml parsing and writing, xslt, xpath..and more
  • System.IO: for file reading and writing and filename and directory handling

Add a namespace's reference

Add a namespace's reference

  • Open vvvv's ProjectExplorer by pressing CtrlJ and then navigate to your appropiate dynamic plugin within the shown list. The missing namespace which causes the error should also miss in the list entry 'References'.
  • Click right and add the reference as shown in the screenshot.
