I have an add-in that is in the form of a dll. How do I get it to show up as an add-in in VS2008?
I am not sure I am asking this question correctly. If I need to post more info I can.
TIA.

Hi Terry,
From memory I think there is an Add In Manager under Tools.
Cheers, Peter

Peter there absolutely is an addin manager under tools. But mine shows some addin's that are already registered and it has 2 buttons on it.... OK and Cancel. How does the dll get registered or does it have to be???

Hi Terry,
Sorry, can't help any further - I've had need to use Add Ins.
As far as registering a DLL I don't think that's needed. I think registration was a COM / ActiveX type activity that isn't needed in .Net.
Cheers, Peter

Thanks anyway. Maybe someone else can help, but it is not a show stopper so onward and upward.....

Take a look at this :

then google "visual studio add-in dll"
Don't claim to know much about Add-ins but I noticed vs2010 Gallery there are now add-in packages that end in vsix that are self-deploying. Very cool.
