A view add-in is declared in a class that inherits from Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.UIAddIns.ViewAddInBase. This add-in provides a control to be displayed in the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) console. This topic demonstrates the steps that are required to create a view add-in, and provides an example that you can reuse in your own code.

Example
The following code example provides a skeleton that can be used when you are creating a new add-in. You will want to change the type of control returned to your own view:
[AddIn("View Add-in 1")] public class MyViewAddIn : ViewAddInBase { private Control _viewControl; public override FrameworkElement CreateViewControl() { _viewControl = new Control(); return _viewControl; } }Compiling the Code
