Everything seems OK, it compiled and linked fine. I could see my new plugin from the Help-->About Plugins window.

That's the right place to look at, so you're dissector seems to be included correctly.

My problem is I could not see my plugin in the Decode As list box.

Is there anything wrong with that? If yes, how could I do to fix that problem?

What do you expect to see there?

You might describe your problem a bit more detailed.

This dialog won't display your protocol in every case, it will depend on the packet currently selected in the packet list, the way you included your protocol into the protocol tree (e.g. using a specific TCP port) and maybe even more.
