What are Plug-ins?

A plug-in is an object that references a .NET assembly containing IssueNet extensions. An extension is simply an object that IssueNet can look for in the plug-in to do some work. The plug-in must implement a service provider that IssueNet can use to look for extensions. The service provider is a class that implements the ServiceProvider interface, which is defined by the .NET framework and defines a single method called GetService(). The default service provider class name that IssueNet looks for is called ServiceProvider. If you want to use a different name, all you have to do is specify the name of the service provider in the ServiceProvider column for the plug-in.
