像这样根结点是Addin的一个XML文件就是Addin
<
AddIn
name
= "Typed Collection Wizard"
author
= "Mike Krueger"
copyright
= "GPL"
url
= "unknown"
description
= "Creates a typed collection"
version
= "1.0.0"
>
<
Runtime
>
<
Import
assembly
="TypedCollectionWizard.dll"
/>
</
Runtime
>
<
Extension
path
= "/SharpDevelop/Templates/File/TypedCollection"
>
<
DialogPanel
id
= "CollectionGenerator"
label

class
= "TypedCollectionGenerator.TypedCollectionWizardPanel"
/>
</
Extension
>
</
AddIn

<Runtime>中包含的是这个addin正常工作所需的程序集列表,
<Extension>中包含的子结点,叫做一个codon
Addin类中分析addin文件的部分
public
class
AddIn
