Add-in X : toolkit to build robust add-in

[Amael Noel]

Hi everyone,

During the last few months, I’ve been focusing mainly on creating a toolkit to create robust add-in with the open-source project ExcelDNA in order to share them as it might be useful for others. It is one more open-source project made in Bermuda.

Those libraries are published under the name Add-in X and it is an open-source project hosted on github (https://github.com/AddinX/). Those libraries are available as nuget packages:

•        AddinX.Ribbon: Fluent ribbon builder for Excel-DNA
  
•          AddinX.Bootstrap: Ease the use of an Inversion of controls container (only Autofac for the moment)
  
•          AddinX.WPF: Helper method to open a WPF window from Excel
  
•          AddinX.Logging: Wrapper to allow user to change easily the logging framework
  

Base on your needs, you might want to use one or more of the libraries. You decide what you want to include in your project.

You should have a look at the documentation (http://www.addinx.org) which contain examples on how to use the fluent ribbon, call a WCF service, open a WPF window, create a simple add-in with udf. You will also find the samples on the github page of the project.

•          Sample.Ribbon: All the controls that can be created with the fluent ribbon
  
•          Sample.WPF: A WPF wizard window launch from Excel and pushing back data to Excel
  
•          Sample.WCF: Calling a WCF service from Excel to say “Hello”
  
•          Sample.Addin: 2 simple add-ins
  

I will be pleased to get your feedbacks and suggestions.

I hope that you will find this toolkit useful!

Hi Amael,

Would you be interested in giving a talk/demo of this at a meetup?
