IManagedAddin::Load

  • Article

Called when a managed VSTO Add-in is loaded.

Syntax

HRESULT Load([in] BSTR bstrManifestURL,
             [in] IDispatch *pdispApplication);

Parameters

Parameter Description
bstrManifestURL The full path of the manifest for the VSTO Add-in.
pdispApplication A pointer to an IDispatch that represents the host application that is loading the VSTO Add-in.

Return Value

An HRESULT value that indicates whether the method completed successfully.

Remarks

A manifest is a file (typically, an XML file) that provides information that is used to help load the VSTO Add-in. For example, a manifest can specify the location of the VSTO Add-in assembly and the entry point class to instantiate when the VSTO Add-in is loaded.

The bstrManifestURL parameter contains the value of the Manifest entry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<application name>\Addins\<add-in ID> registry key for the VSTO Add-in. For more information, see IManagedAddin interface.

Implement the IManagedAddIn::Load method to perform tasks such as configuring the application domain and security policy for the VSTO Add-in that is being loaded.
