Remarks

The AddInBase class provides functionality that is shared by all add-ins that you create by using the Office development tools in Visual Studio. The ThisAddIn class in add-in projects derives most of its members from the AddInBase class. For more information, see Programming VSTO Add-Ins.

Usage

This type is used only in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4 or later. The assembly that defines this type is not part of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. You must deploy this assembly with your solution. For more information, see Assemblies in the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime.

Methods

BeginInit()
CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject()	Returns an object that implements the Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonExtensibility interface.
CreateRibbonObjects()	Returns an array of IRibbonExtension objects to the CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject() method. The objects represent the Ribbons to display at run time.
Dispose()	Releases the resources used by the AddInBase.
EndInit()
FinishInitialization()
GetHostItem<T>(Type, String)
Initialize()
InitializeDataBindings()
OnShutdown()
OnStartup()
RequestComAddInAutomationService()	Returns an object in your add-in that can be used by other solutions.
RequestService(Guid)	Returns an object that extends a feature in a Microsoft Office application.

Events

BindingContextChanged
Disposed
Shutdown	Occurs when the add-in is about to be unloaded.
Startup	Occurs when the add-in is loaded, after all the initialization code in the assembly has run.
