Remarks

You can use this class to share an add-in with another host that does not have the same pipeline to that add-in (particularly, another host that does not have the same host view of the add-in).

If you need to adapt an activated add-in from its host view to the contract, use the ViewToContractAdapter method.

If you have an instance of the contract and need to convert it to the host view, use the ContractToViewAdapter method.

Methods
