Getting Started

To start the development process, you create a new solution and a Visual Studio Add-in Project called ColorSelectorAddIn. The Add-in Wizard creates a code base for you inside a Connect class just as you saw earlier in this chapter. The Connect class is the place where all the IDE and automation object model–specific code goes.

In addition to the core add-in plumbing, you also need to create a User Control class that encapsulates the user interface and the processing logic for the add-in.
