How to export commandbar to esriaddin

[A_Kipfer]

Hello,

I'm developing with VS 2010 and C# for ArcGIS 10.0.

I created a custom commandbar and added custom buttons to it. I'm wondering now if it's possible to export it to a proper commandbar.dll and commandbar.tlb. I need to do it at runtime.

As I understood, I can generate a .dll with CodeDomProvider but I don't know if I can pass a commandbar object to it, from the documentation I read I can't tell. Then it would be possible to use regasm commandbar.dll /tlb:commandbar.tlb to create a tlb file, at least theoretically, I'm not sure if this would work. So I have the following questions:

1. Is exporting a programmatically created commandbar to an esriaddin-bundle feasible at all?
2. If so, can anyone please give me a hint on how to do that or how to use CodeDomProvider (yes, I found examples but not on passing an object).

Thanks very much in advance!

Hi Kianar,

As per ESRI ArcObjects Help, there is only manual way to add the existing custom command to the add-in and there is no utility to automatically perform this task. You can refer below link for more details:

Hope this answers your query.
