Extensibility studio

AlterNET Extensibility Studio is live, giving developers powerful tools to extend and customize their .NET applications. 17 March 2017 AlterNET Extensibility Studio’s first version is live now.AlterNET Extensibility Studio is a comprehensive solution for extending your .NET applications with custom logic.It provides a set of tools allowing users of your applications to write code for mini-programs (scripts) toenhance existing or define new logic by accessing and manipulating application objects, build visual user interfaces forthese scripts, and debug them with a fully-featured debugging engine.AlterNET Extensibility Studio consists of the following component libraries:Code Editor brings efficient code editing functionality into your .NET applications. It provides code editingcapabilities such as syntax highlighting, code completion, code outlining, visual indicators for bookmarks, and muchmore.Form Designer provides a quick and convenient way to create visual user interfaces. It allows for placingcontrols on the design surfaces, setting their initial properties, and writing event handlers for their events.Scripter allows integrating C# and VB scripts into your WinForms or WPF .NET applications. It enablesextending the functionality of the application logic without recompiling and redeploying the application.Download your free evaluation version today!

Tools for Office runtime overview.VSTOLoader.dll loads the .NET Framework and starts the managed portion of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime .The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime checks for manifest updates, and downloads the most recent application and deployment manifests.The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime performs a series of security checks. For more information, see Secure Office solutions.If the VSTO Add-in is trusted to run, the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime uses the deployment manifest and application manifest to check for assembly updates. If a new version of the assembly is available, the runtime downloads the new version of the assembly to the ClickOnce cache on the client computer. For more information, see Deploy an Office solution.The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime creates a new application domain in which to load the VSTO Add-in assembly.The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime loads the VSTO Add-in assembly into the application domain.The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime calls the RequestComAddInAutomationService method in your VSTO Add-in, if you have overridden it.You can optionally override this method to expose an object in your VSTO Add-in to other Microsoft Office solutions. For more information, see Call code in VSTO Add-ins from other Office solutions.The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime calls the RequestService method in your VSTO Add-in, if you have overridden it.You can optionally override this method to extend a Microsoft Office feature by returning an object that implements an extensibility interface. For more information, see Customize UI features by using extensibility interfaces.NoteThe Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime makes separate calls to the RequestService method for each extensibility interface that is supported by the host application. Although the first call to the RequestService method usually happens before the call to the ThisAddIn_Startup method, your VSTO Add-in should not make any assumptions about when the RequestService method will be called, or how many times it will be called.The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime calls the ThisAddIn_Startup method in your VSTO Add-in. This method is the default event handler for the Startup event.
