Add-in Express for Internet Explorer Main features
Add-in Express is entirely based on the Rapid Application Development approach and empowers you to develop professional extensions for Internet Explorer in no time. Using Add-in Express visual designers, you can:
- Develop Internet Explorer browser helper objects, bars and toolbars in one integrated project or in separate ones.
- Customize vertical or horizontal Explorer bars with any .NET controls.
- Create custom IE toolbars using .NET controls and user control components.
- Extend any Internet Explorer context / pop-up menus with your own items.
- Add new items to the built-in menu bar.
- Add new buttons to the built-in toolbar.
- Add custom keyboard shortcuts.
- Deploy and update your IE add-ons using msi-based web-enabled setup projects.
- Make your IE add-ons thread-safe, interproccess-communicative, isolated and secure.
Add-in Express for Internet Explorer and Microsoft .net Key benefits
- Internet Explorer extensibility. Add-in Express programming model and run-time code based on the Internet Explorer SDK provide the most effective way to extend the IE GUI, access Internet Explorer objects and handle their events.
- Component-centric model for programming IE add-ons. You use visual designers and components to customize the Internet Explorer menu, toolbar or side-bars, to access Internet Explorer objects and their events.
- Lucid, easy-to understand architecture. Add-in Express integrates all Internet Explorer extensibility features in one solution, so that you needn't follow a complicated IE SDK way with separate ActiveX-es, script files and registry keys.
- 32- and 64-bit add-ons in one project. Add-in Express delivers its own 32-bit and 64-bit add-on loaders, automatically includes them in add-on setup projects and registers the loaders for both Internet Explorer versions, 32- and 64-bit. The loaders run your add-ons and isolate them in their own app domains. All this makes your add-ons x86 and x64-compatible, secure and isolated.
- Version-neutrality - Add-in Express includes a version-neutral Internet Explorer interop assemblies. With these assemblies you make your add-ons compatible with the most popular IE, from IE 6 through IE 11. One code, one project, one solution, one deployment package for all IE versions.
- Deployment made easy. Each of your Add-in Express solutions is msi-based and web-enabled. Just build your IE extension and its setup project and publish the resulting msi to your deployment server.
- Add-in Express is based entirely on the true RAD paradigm and enables you to reduce the time you spend on COM interfaces, IE-related registry entries and IE add-on deployment. You write applied code only, Add-in Express implements everything else.
