You'll want to get familiar with our plugin framework first:
http://www.opendental.com/manual/plugins.html

Then, once you've got the sample compiling and working, you can submit a plugin / hook request on our Developers forum thread for the Contact Edit form that best helps the plugin you are trying to create:

Hi All,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using the below code but it is not working. Please guide me what i am doing wrong in it.

public override bool HookAddCode(object sender, string hookName, params object[] parameters)
{
try
{
switch (hookName)
{

case "FormContactEdit.Load_end":
MessageBox.Show("inside contact edit in plugin");
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
catch (Exception pcex)
{

return false;
}

}

That's because there is no such HookAddCode called "FormContactEdit.Load_end". You need to make a hook request for us to create it for you. Heed the second part of my post where I tell you to submit a hook request to the Developers forum:

We also mention this in our Plug-in Framework page:

Patterns
Our programmers add all requested hooks. We have documented very specific Plug-in Patterns that we will follow when adding hooks. Users requesting hooks must understand these patterns in order to intelligently make hook requests.
