Ever hear of the MMC?

[Gorkey]

I'm looking for some help in Creating a Microsoft Management Console Snap-in using VB.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone even know what the MMC is? or a snaip-in for that matter.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yep

At present I am working in MMC stuff.

I will be needing to make snap-ins for the MMC and was wondering if you could help me out with a VB framework or example code.

Samples comes along with the VB SnapIN designer which is available somewhere in the microsoft site

[Gorkey]

I have been through the Microsfot site with a fine toothed comb and it is nowhere to be found. Could you point me in the right direction? Every search I've done returns little or no results, and you are the first person I have had contact with that has ever claimed to hav even see the thing!

[senthil]

I think they have removed the download from the site.

Well, then, could you send me a sample project? please? my e-mail is Gorkey@Wanker.com

u can create vb snapins using the vb snapin designer. took me a while to figure out how to install the **** thing. MS sure doesn't want to make finding this info easy!

u need to install the platform sdk jan 2000 edition with all the items related to management checked. its available at

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/setuplauncher.htm

it comes with sample apps.

also documentation on how to go about creating vb snapins is available on msdn. just search for "vb snap-in" or mmc snapin or something like that.
