Nah... What I was aiming for was an Outlook-type interface that plug-ins
could be added to (an icon on the outlook bar or an entry in a menu) and
show the selected plug-in in the right pane (or on a tab even).
Upon further examination, the simple plug-in example hosted on PSC does not
have a UI that is exposed via the host interface. I think I have an example
around here (in one of my 54 VB.Net books), but it is strung out through the
whole book.
If I weren't quite so ADD-prone, I'd take a stab at writing a VB.Net
knock-off of an old JAMSA Press Visual Basic book entitled "1001 Visual
Basic Programmer's Tips". It's a beautiful concept, and one they have
carried through to "JAMSA'S C/C++/C# Programmer's Bible".
These books are chock full of *small* *to-the-point* examples that don't
waste your time forcing you to write a whole application - only 10% of which
you are interested in (or need to know for your current project). These
publications are for programmers whose main focus is getting the job
done...now. As you do that, you will naturally add to your programming
knowledge and skills.
Is that the best way to learn? I think so. It's how people actually learn
and add knowledge to their long-term skill set. If it weren't, you could
just pass the MCSD exams and get a great job.....nobody'd care about your
experience.
Enough of that.... Just looking for a snap-in example that shows the
snap-ins in a host GUI.
