Create a seperate class library project (interop dll). .Net dlls are not really dlls.Create an interface that you'll use to reference, create a seperate class library. create a class that implements the interface defined in the interop dll create an application that will load the add in.

You'd use reflection to load the DLL at runtime.. However, unlike the Java there is an additional requirement - a ‘module manager’ class needs to be within the API. By dynamically loading a DLL you decide at runtime which DLL to use. This means you can give your program different functionality depending on which DLL's are present (freeware or shareware versions of a program).

You can PInvoke to call Win32 functions, LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress. Windows provides two ways to load DLLs into the process of an executable. When the DLL is unloaded you must make sure that you never try to call any of the functions contained in it, otherwise you'll be greeted with an access violation.
