How to set up the ESRI add-ins
The ESRI add-ins automate some of the tasks performed by the software engineer when developing with ArcObjects, as well as provide tools that make debugging code easier.
ESRI provides the following add-ins for Visual Basic. For more information on a particular add-in, click on its name in this list.
A Visual Basic add-in extends the functionality provided through the Microsoft Visual Basic Integrated Development Environment (IDE). An add-in typically automates repetitive tasks performed by a software engineer. Add-ins register themselves with Visual Basic. After an add-in is installed it will appear automatically on the Add-Ins menu in Visual Basic. The menubar below shows the Add-Ins menu with the ESRI add-ins loaded.
The Add-Ins menu provides access to numerous developer tools that help ArcObjects developers be more productive.
