Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of dynamically installing plugin(s) for application(s). An agent plugin is caused to run in a deployment of a specified application (e.g., across multiple machines in a cloud environment or “on premises”). The specified application is packaged to include the agent plugin. The agent plugin is used to install designated plugin(s) dynamically based on configuration information regarding the specified application. The configuration information indicates that the designated plugin(s) are to be installed in response to the specified application being deployed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to designer extensibility. In aspects, a designer package is registered. The designer package includes a component that is able to search for designers that support a given file. After finding one or more designers that support a file, the component creates a control that includes the one or more designers. The component may also include in the control an editor usable to view a text-based representation of the file. After creating the control, the component may return a reference to the control that may be used to host the control. The mechanism also supports finding and creating controls that are not based on files.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to integrating software components. In aspects, a previously created component is inserted into a target project. To do this, a location of elements of the component is obtained as well as a destination for placing the elements. Fixup code is also inserted into the project. The fixup code is to be executed after installing the component on a target entity prior to allowing the component to execute. The fixup code discovers the installation location of the component on the target entity and changes reference(s) from the original location to the installation location. After the component and the fixup code are inserted into the project, the project may be used to create a package which may be deployed on one or more target entities.
