Plug-in algorithm documentation and sample code

I've read in at least one book (and heard firsthand at the SQL Server launch event) that there's a plug-in framework for adding new algorithms to Data Mining. However, the book was apparently written against a Beta version, and the location it suggests for the plug-in sample code doesn't exist in the shipping version. I haven't been able to locate any documentation about the plug-in framework in the SQL Server Books Online, and I haven't been able to find any sample code, either.

Can someone give me a few pointers?Did you explicitly install the SQL Server Samples? You have to choose advanced options during setup to get them - they are not installed by default. If not, go to add/remove programs to run the installer again to add the samples to your installation.|||

You can also find the plug-in algorithm tutorial (with complete source code for a sample) here: http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com/DMCommunity/Tutorials/Links_LinkRedirector.aspx?id=62

The plug-in algorithm whitepaper is available here:

|||Yes, I did install the samples. In fact, I tried on two different installations of SQL Server -- one in which I'd installed the samples with the original installation, and one in which I installed them after-the-fact. In neither case could I find any of the plug-in samples.|||Thank you very much!|||

Hi,

This site is very good but I need to ask aquistion.

Can I use the C# language instead of VC++ in order to create the new mining algorithm.

Is there any example?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Aya.
