C# Add-In test application

The Add-In test application allows you to test the menu driven functionality of your C# add-in without needing to close Enterprise Architect for each build.

When creating an add-in for Enterprise Architect you need to shut down EA before each build because EA will be referencing the dll's you are trying to replace.

This test application will mimic the add-in menu of EA and allow you to test the menu driven functionality of your add-in without having to shut-down and restart EA. A huge timesaver when developing Add-ins for EA

EA Add-in Tester in action

The EAAddinTester.zip contains the source code for the Add-In Tester and the source code for the simple add-in referenced in Tutorial: Create your first C# Enterprise Architect add-in in 10 minutes

Background and step-by-step instructions can be found on my blog or in the attached pdf file.
