task pane - adding custom samples

[samsnead]

Is there a way to add our own samples to this - we have 4 developers and would be nice to put some of our standard code on list so easy to get at.

I should be more clear - want to add our samples to the solutions samples list.

Hi Samsnead,

Yes, you can do this, although the procedure is far from obvious, and is not documented in the help.

Basically, you need to create an XML file that describes the sample in some detail. Once you have done this, any developer can click the Install Sample button, navigate to the XML file, after which the sample should be visible along with all the others.

For information about the format of the XML file, and other relevant details, see:

Hope this helps.

Mike
