How to create a media bin with desired name via script?

Here's how I do it in the HOS script named "Avidub". These snippets should get you going.

//add to EntryPoint Class
public MediaBin aviDubBin = new MediaBin("AviDub");
--------------------------------------------------------
//add to FromVegas
//check for/add media bin
try
{
    bool binExists = false;
    var c = myVegas.Project.MediaPool.RootMediaBin.Count();
    WriteLogFile("Number of media bins: " + c.ToString());

    foreach (IMediaBinNode node in myVegas.Project.MediaPool.RootMediaBin)
    {
        if (node.NodeType == MediaBinNodeType.Bin)
        {
            var binName = ((MediaBin)node).Name;
            if (binName == "AviDub")
            {
                aviDubBin = ((MediaBin)node);
                binExists = true;
                WriteLogFile("AviDub media bin found");
            }
        }
    }
    if (!binExists)
    {
        myVegas.Project.MediaPool.RootMediaBin.Add(aviDubBin);
        WriteLogFile("AviDub media bin added");
    }

}
catch (Exception e)
{
    WriteLogFile("Error checking bins: " + e.ToString());
}
------------------------------------------------------------
//add medida to bins
//add to root bin and aviddub media bin
MediaBin rootBin = myVegas.Project.MediaPool.RootMediaBin;
rootBin.Add(media);
WriteLogFile("Media added to root bin");
aviDubBin.Add(media);
WriteLogFile("Media added to AviDub bin");

@iEmby, that code *is* cSharp. Here's a simplified version:

using ScriptPortal.Vegas;

namespace Test_Script
{
    public class Class1
    {
        public Vegas myVegas;

        public void Main(Vegas vegas)
        {
            myVegas = vegas;

            MediaBin rootBin = myVegas.Project.MediaPool.RootMediaBin;
            MediaBin newBin = new MediaBin("Snapshot");
            rootBin.Add(newBin);
        }

    }
}

public class EntryPoint
{
    public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)
    {
        Test_Script.Class1 test = new Test_Script.Class1();
        test.Main(vegas);
    }
}

That code will add a new media bin named "Snapshot" under "Custom Bins" in the Project Media. Unlike the other code, it will not check to see if it exists first but will simply add it.

can u help me in one more thing.
i want a code which can first check preview quality of project which i moslty set at Preview(Half) and note it in list
then make preview quality to Best(Full).
and then run SnapshotAtMarkers(vegas); (which i already created and working good)
and after this code processed then it again. set back to its last (Preview(Half) ) preview quality.

if it will be complicated then pls atleast give me code of make preview quality Best(full) and this code should start from
private void 'SetBestFullPreview(Vegas vegas)'

if u help me in this it will be so helpful for me sir..
