Public Sub NewAddInVersionAvailableAsync (
    id As Guid,
    version As Version,
    address As Uri,
    classification As UpdateClassification
)

Parameters

• id
  Type: System.Guid

  The identifier of the add-in package.

• version
  Type: System.Version

  The new version of the add-in package.

• address
  Type: System.Uri

  The URI that contains the address of the update for the add-in package.

• classification
  Type: Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.AddinInfrastructure.UpdateClassification

  The UpdateClassification.

Remarks

The address links directly to the updated add-ins for catalog add-ins or links to a webpage where updates of other add-ins can be downloaded.

The following represents the end-to-end process for how this API is used:

1. The add-in determines through an independent software vendor (ISV)-specific method whether a new version is available.

2. The add-in calls the NewAddInVersionAvailableAsync method with the GUID that is specified in the <ID> tag. The address should be a webpage where the user can download the add-in because it is not automatically downloaded.

3. The user downloads the updated add-in from the webpage and installs it.
