How to write a component for Grasshopper?

Hello!

As the title suggests, this is probably a duplicate question. I am trying to do a bit more than scripting, though I can't find anything that details the connection between Visual Studio to Rhino / GH.

For example, I don't know where to type the following examples, and make them run

http://wiki.mcneel.com/developer/pythonandrhinocommon

or when I create a project in VS, I can use the Grasshopper Add-On or RhinoCommon Plugin-In Template, but once I create a project, how do I tell it to "communicate" with Rhino? Also, the default file generated is in vb, how do I change it to C#? Also, is it possible to code in python in this environment, or is it only available within Rhino's python?

A simple example / video showing the connection between some code either leading to a GH component or "something" happening in Rhino would be immensely helpful.

Thank you and apologies for the duplication!!

Tim

If you're using C# or VB.NET with Visual Studio, you should install the GHA wizards. They'll help you set up a GHA project, along with some core code and debugging settings. You will have to tell Grasshopper to load your GHA assembly, which you can do using the GrasshopperDeveloperSettings command (add a new search folder).
