Is there a DotNET sample to develop a custom Factory ?

At the moment we do not have a DotNET plugin SDK. We have had many customers use the C++ Plugin SDK and then call out to DotNET from there, which has reduced our motivation to build that kit. In the short/medium term I don't see any better way, so I think the best bet is to use C++ plugin API and call out to DotNET from there.
You could also try something like http://pythonnet.sourceforge.net/readme.html if you were a Python person, though that looks a lot scarier to me.

API documentation is available in your FME home directory assuming you installed FME Desktop and ticked the 'install SDK' option. To check have a look here:
<FME_HOME>\\fmeobjects\\dotnet\\apidoc
etc...
If the folder isn't there, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall.

Thanks for your reply.
I see it, but I would like to develop a custom factory using as seed a DotNET sample. There are two "StartEndFactory" sample projects for cpp and java environments but there is not available for DotNET.
FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll does not define the IFMEFactory interface as FMEObjects.jar does. I do not know how to start.
Is it possible? or should I create a C++/NET wrapper ?

Thanks a lot @daleatsafe, I am going to use the C++ Plugin SDK and then call out to DotNET from there. My customer agrees about it, they have only .NET developers and they prefer this technology to develop the core capabilities. I must provide them only a bridge between C++ SDK and your .NET assemblies.

Hi, I am glad to announce a new FME DotNet SDK in github to develop FME transformers using .NET code.
