With add-ins, you can automate tasks in Visual C++ by adding commands to perform these tasks. The sample add-ins provided with Visual C++ illustrate some tasks you can automate.

To load an add-in, the Visual C++ Developer Studio environment calls the add-in's OnConnection method. When the environment shuts down, it unloads each add-in by calling the OnDisconnection method. Both methods are in the add-in's DSAddIn object.
