Stage 2: Creating and Loading the Module

1. Add a Class Library project named MyModule in the solution ShellApplication.sln
2. Project's outputpath should be \ShellApplication\bin\Debug\
3. In Add Reference Select these three DLLs:
   Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI.dll
   Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI.WinForms.dll
   Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll
4. Add a new class named MyWorkItem.cs
   using Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI;
   inherits from WorkItem as below
   public class MyWorkItem : WorkItem
   {}
5. Add a class named MymoduleInit.cs
   using Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI;
   using Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI.Services;
   using System.Windows.Forms;
6. • inherit from ModuleInit as shown here
     public class MyModuleInit : ModuleInit
   • Add the following variable to reference the WorkItemTypeCatalogService
     private IWorkItemTypeCatalogService myCatalogService;
   • Add the following public property to the class that sets the value of the myCatalogService variable.
     [ServiceDependency]
     public IWorkItemTypeCatalogService myWorkItemCatalog
     {
     set { myCatalogService = value; }
     }
   • Override the Load method of the ModuleInit class
     public override void Load()
     {
     base.Load();
     myCatalogService.RegisterWorkItem <MyWorkItem>();
     }
7. instruct the CAB to load the new module
   In the ShellApplication project, open the NewItem dialog box and select XML File. Name it ProfileCatalog.xml.
   < ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ? &gt
   < SolutionProfile xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/pag/cab-profile" %gt
   &lt Modules >
   &lt ModuleInfo AssemblyFile="MyModule.dll" />
   &lt/Modules>
   &lt/SolutionProfile>
8. Save and Run the application
