AddInEnvironment

Remarks

Use this class to load add-ins into a desired environment, which can be one of the following:

  • An existing application domain for which you have the AppDomain object.

  • An application domain that was automatically generated to activate an add-in.

  • An existing external process.

To obtain the AddInEnvironment object for an add-in, pass the add-in's application domain to the AddInEnvironment class constructor. Alternatively, you can use the AddInEnvironment property of the AddInController class to obtain the add-in's AddInEnvironment object.

After you obtain the AddInEnvironment object, you can do the following:

  • Pass that AddInEnvironment object to the appropriate Activate method overload. The add-in will be activated in the application domain and process that is represented by the AddInEnvironment object.

  • Use the Process property to obtain an AddInProcess object. Then pass that object to the appropriate Activate method overload. The add-in will be activated in the process that is represented by the AddInProcess object but in a new application domain.
