Discover IDE Extensions

IDE extensions can be added to the IDE without rebuilding the core IDE. It just requires IDE to be restarted. When the IDE is started, it browses through the IDEExtensions folder and loads all valid IDE extension assemblies, which have required embedded meta-data. The extensions’ manifest information is validated against fore mentioned “IDE Extensions Xml Schema”. The IDE also verifies that the assemblies are strongly named and are signed using the AVEVA-provided public and private token key-pair.
