TestDriven.NET by Jamie Cansdale

Here are a few more example add-ins...

1. Lutz Roeder's Reflector runnain as an Add-In
2. Lutz Roeder's Documentor runnain as an Add-In (it would be quite strait forward to keep in sync with the code you're editing if you fancy and add-in project)
3. Screenshot of Control Inspector running as an add-in inspecting Visual Studio Convert which also appears as an add-in.
4. Command Prompt Add-In using the Pavel Zolnikov's Command Prompt Explorer Bar control.  Here is a version that can be run as an add-in.
5. SqlBuddy running as an Add-In. SqlBuddy expects to find the Icons directory relative to the current directory. When running inside Visual Studio.NET the current directory is \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE\. As a work around you can copy the Icons directory there. A better solution would be for the application to look for the Icons relative to AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.
6. Here is a screenshot of Messenger.NET running as an add-in. Messenger.NET is a messenger client. It is minimalist compared the the Microsoft Messanger, but that is it's beauty! It will happily run in a tool window without beeping, flashing and generaly bothering you!

I've uploaded a build of Pavel Zolnikov's excelent Command Prompt Explorer Bar ready to drop in as an add-in.  Be sure to check out the original version.  It is now one of my can't live without utilities!

Yesterday I posted a picture of the new add-in toolbox. I should really explain what the different items do...

1. Lutz Roeder's Reflector runnain as an Add-In
2. Screenshot of Control Inspector running as an add-in inspecting Visual Studio Convert which also appears as an add-in.
3. Command Prompt Add-In using the Pavel Zolnikov's Command Prompt Explorer Bar control

You've got to start somewhere. Here's a rather sparse Managed Add-Ins Gallery. Please send your screenshots and links here.

Ah, so that is how you do it!  I was going through all sorts of convoluted ways to simply find out if a DLL was managed (without loading it).  It looks like that one call will do the trick.

I've uploaded new versions of Managed Add-Ins and the Reflector Add-In. I've added a 'Quick Launch' menu to quickly start and stop your add-ins. I think this was needed before going properly beta (i.e. feature complete). You can dowanlod the new versions from here.
