Hi all,

I have the following queries regarding MMC snap-in
development:

1. Is it possible to develop snap-ins using .Net framework?
2. If yes then what are the namespaaces that have the
implementations for the Interfaces required for snap-in
development?

I would really appreciate your help...


Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Avinash
 
Becaurse mmc snap-ins are COM - based, you can take the original dokumation
and implement it in .Net via COM - Interop

Thanks for the information...

I was just wondering if there was any namespace available
in the .Net framework, which implements various COM
interfaces in order to communicate with MMC.

Thanks a bunch.

You can use the tlbimp tool to create a .Net Assembly of an .Com
TypeLibrary. If you use Vs.Net, you can just a reference to the Com -
Component. tlbimp is invoced automaticy, and the created .Net Assembly will
get referenced.

Thank you all for your time and information...

I tried MMCLib class library from ironringsoftware to
create a sample snap-in. It sure does a good job of
encapsulating interface implementations required for MMC
snap-in development.

Looking forward to using a fully supported .Net framework
namespace(s) for snap-in development from Microsoft.

IMHO, This will also be a deciding factor for the
developer community implementing WMI.

Thanks,
Avinash
