The AddInBase class provides functionality that is shared by all add-ins that you create by using the Office development tools in Visual Studio. The ThisAddIn class in add-in projects derives most of its members from the AddInBase class. For more information, see Programming VSTO Add-Ins.

Usage

This type is used only in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4 or later. The assembly that defines this type is not part of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. You must deploy this assembly with your solution. For more information, see Assemblies in the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime.

Thread Safety

Any public static ( Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
