<!-- Rename this xml file from "SubTabAddinConfig" and copy to %ProgramFiles%\Windows Server\Bin\Addins\<Target Tab> folder
|

where <Target Tab> is the name of the folder for the particular built-in tab-->

ATTRIBUTES:
|
|
|
|
name attribute: Corresponds to a friendly name for the add-in. This is for internal use and
|
|
will not be displayed to the user. It is mainly used in logging.
|
|
|
|
type attribute: Comma separated string where the first entry is the namespace path to the class that is derived
|
|
from the abstract PageProvider class and the second entry is the name of the dll containing this class.
|
|
|
|
basedir attribute: the path to the directory containing the user's addin binaries (dll)
|
|
Copy binaries there.
|
|
|
|
PROCEDURE:
|
|
|
|
Addin file: A name will be needed for this file, so the file should be renamed from the default "AddinConfig.addin"
|
|
to new unique name such as "MyNewDashboardAddin.addin". The only requirement is that this name be unique.
|
|
This file will be put into the "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Server\Bin\Addins\<Target Tab>" folder where <Target Tab>
|
|
is the name of the folder for the particular built-in tab, for instance "Home", or Users, or "Computers" (this is the
|
|
Computers and Backup tab).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Binary file: the location of the main binary is specified by the basedir attribute in the Addin file. If the binary is
|
|
named MyNewWSSDashboardAddin.dll in the folder C:\Program Files\MyWSSAddins, and the name of the class is
|
|
SubTabPage derived from the Page class, and the namespace is MyDashboardAddinNamespace,
|
|
then the addin element would be as follows:
|
|
|
|
<addin name="Test Add-in" basedir="%ProgramFiles%\MyWSSAddins"
|
|
type="MyDashboardAddinNamespace.SubTabPage, MyNewWSSDashboardAddin" />
|
|
|
|
Put the binaries in the folder specified by the Addin file, in this case: %ProgramFiles%\MyWSSAddins.
|
|
|
|
PROBLEMS:
|
|
|
|
If the subtab does not load, the Dashboard crashes, or there are other problems, the Dashboard log is located at
|
|
ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs\Dashboard.txt
|
|
-->

<addin name="WPF SubTab in Built-in-Tab Test Add-in" basedir="FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_PAGE_PROVIDER_BINARY_DLL"
