Something I have put off writing for way too long. What license is it released under? Do you happen to have it on github or somewhere where I could watch for any updates?
and THANKS!

Well, not sure if there is any interest in this... but as many people know I have one of the more comprehensive open source C++ obd2 libraries around. The issue is, this library depends on Qt, which is quite a heavy dependency if you are not using Qt to write your application. I came across a situation where I needed to use OBD2 in c#, so I went ahead and wrote a wrapper for the core obd interface code that allows you to use it with c#. I've attached three files. The first is the actual c# library source + obdlib.dll binary (This is the c++ communications part). The second is the test application project file, and the third is a compiled version of the test and the library for anyone to try out. To use it, you put in the COM port, baud rate, and hit connect. Then type a PID into the pid text box like 010C, or 0110. Then hit "Add pid", and it should start to update.
I'm working on adding a lot more stuff like connection information, tool version, etc, but this gives you an idea what's usable. If there is any interest I'll throw it up on gitorious and keep it updated. The eventual goal is to have it near identical to the Qt version which uses the same underlying communications library.
Edit 4/23/12: Fixed a bug that heezer7 helped me track down. Thanks!!
Edit 4/26/12: Fixed bug Sonic reported, com ports above 9 and text ports (CNCA etc) not working. Download obdlib.zip and replace obdlib.dll to fix.

Lookie there I forgot the license. It'll be LGPLv2, just like the underlying libobd is
Oh, and yes it's on gitorious, inside libobd https://gitorious.org/libobd
https://gitorious.org/libobd/libobd/...r/ObdThread.cs
Edit:
I wrote that code over 5 years ago (Closer to 10), and it scares me because I no longer have any idea how it works, but it works GREAT!Originally Posted by heezer7
This is where no matter how hard I try to completely understand OSS licenses and plugin structures and such I am still lost at times. OM is GPLv3 which cannot directly use v2. But can I write a GPLv2 plugin so I can use a LGPLv2 lib and not conflict with OM? ugh. Seems like I can never get a consistent answer especially when the plugin is using helper functions in the GPLv3 application it is a plugin for.
Correct. as far as I understand it you can do anything with LGPLv2 licensed code that you can with GPLv2. In addition: You can use LGPL code in a closed source app, as long as it's a .dll (not statically linked), and not modified. If modified, you have to release the modifications, not the closed source stuff.
Now, that being said, you can also use lgplv2 licensed code in a gplv3 licensed application, since lgplv2+ gives you the option to relicense the library as gplv2+ (also known as, gplv3). And this is lgplv2+ (The + means "or any later version")
oh ok, I assumed since you said v2 that you meant straight v2 and not v2+ (since it seems like some people do want to stay with v2). Means I don't have to figure it out for a bit longer. haha
Need to clear your PMs ;-)
I have a basic plugin for OM up and going with your OBD2 code. Thanks again! However I am having a bit of a problem. I am not getting any data back from your test app. I can connect and once I request a PID I see the lights start going like crazy but all the values always stay at 0. I tried on 2 different cars, but could never make it into the if with the second break point here http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k299/heezer7/obd.png
With other software I could connect ok with the same port and baud. Any thoughts?
I can't say every time but I did see it a few times at least. Back inside now but I can go check again later and have it dump a bunch of replies if that is something that would interest you.
