Extensibility (How Do I in Architecture Edition)
This page contains links to popular topics about extending the types of applications, zones, logical servers, and endpoints that you can define using Distributed System Designers in Visual Studio Team System Architecture Edition. You can create custom prototypes from applications, logical servers, zones, and endpoints already defined on their respective diagrams or install those created by other users. You can also create prototypes using the System Definition Model (SDM) Software Developer Kit (SDK) or install those created using the SDM SDK. For more information, see System Definition Model (SDM) SDK Workshop.
