Documentation Request: EA Add-Ins for Dummies
« on: February 10, 2005, 08:52:01 am »
Hello all,

I am currently trying to get some simple add-ins written in C# (.NET 1.1) to plug in properly and show up in EA.  Unfortunately, I have had no luck in getting things working correctly, even though registration & such appear to work properly.  The add-ins appear to load, but are otherwise invisible to EA.  I humbly request that Sparx provide better, more thorough documentation of the add-in interface (perhaps even supplying some code templates for various platforms, including .NET) to facilitate add-in development.  EA is a great product, and I think the community would jump at the chance to cook up loads of add-ins if the rough places were made a bit straighter.

Cheers,
Fred Woolsey

Fred and Bruce,

Point taken. There's something in the pipeline for this. I believe a Delphi example went up on the examples page recently (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/AutIntExamples.htm)- with one or more .Net add-ins to follow.

Some skeleton add-in code/templates is a good suggestion too.

Regards,
Ben
