Since all cross-platform interfaces inherit from IDispatch, every object that implements this interface must also implement the IDispatch methods. In most cases, these methods are not needed and the FakeIDispatch...
ModuleController	Module controller is an entry point of a module, module controller supply's host with information about stored plugins and provides a methods that allows host to instantiate and work with plugins.

Interfaces

Interface	Notes
IHYCrossPlatformHost	The IHYCrossPlatformHost is a base interface for a cross platform hosts.
IHYCrossPlatformInterface	The IHYCrossPlatformInterface is a base interface for cross platform interfaces.
IHYCrossPlatformModule	The IHYCrossPlatformModule interface defines the cross platform module. This interface is used by the managed hosts to interact with unmanamged plugins.
IHYCrossPlatformModuleController	The IHYCrossPlatformModuleController interface defines a cross-platform module controller that is used to centralize plugin registration in the Hydra framework.
IHYCrossPlatformNonVisualPlugin	The IHYCrossPlatformNonVisualPlugin interface represents cross-platform non-visual plugins. In the Hydra framework, this interface is implemented by both managed and umnaged non-visual plugins to enable cross-platform interaction.
IHYCrossPlatformPlugin	The IHYCrossPlatformPlugin is a base cross-platform plugin interface. This interface is an ancestor of all plugin interfaces that support cross-platform interaction. The Hydra framework uses the IHYCrossPlatformPlugin interface to define and manage plugins in a cross-platform environment.
IHYCrossPlatformPluginDescriptor	IHYCrossPlatformPluginDescriptor is an interface that defines a cross platform descriptor. This interface is used by the managed hosts to retrieve information from the unmanaged plugins.
IHYCrossPlatformPluginDescriptorEx	The IHYCrossPlatformPluginDescriptorEx inteface extends IHYCrossPlatformPluginDescriptor interfaces to provide additional data about a plugin. Usualy you won't use this interface since it is already used by a Hydra core, instead you can...

Attributes

Attribute	Notes
NonVisualPlugin	The PluginAttribute class is a custom plugin attirubute that defines a non-visual plugin. Hydra uses this attribute to locate plugins within assembly and to get access to meta-data. Every Hydra plugin must have a set of attributes to allow...
Plugin	The PluginAttribute is a base class for a custom plugins attirubte. Hydra uses this attribute to locate plugins within assembly and to get access to meta-data. Every Hydra plugin must have a set of attributes to allow host application properly...
PluginType	Represents an abstract base class for a plugin custom attributes. You will usually deal with VisualPluginAttribute and NonVisualPluginAttribute, which are descendants from this class.
