How do I use this component?

This component is useless by itself and acts onyl as a host for other components. Hence it should be used only in two cases:

• You are trying to install a .NET component that requires foo_dotnet_component_host.
• You are trying to develop a new .NET component.
  
  

How do I install a .NET component?

1. Open the foobar2000 preferences dialog (click File>Preferences or use the CTRL+P keyboard shortcut).
2. Select the Components>.NET Components page.
3. Either click the Install... button and locate the component archive, or simply drag it on to the list.
4. Click OK. You will be prompted to restart foobar2000 in order to load the newly-installed component.
5. Click OK again to restart.
