Hey David,

I will blog about this soon BUT if you want to learn how to extend Blend, go 
through the Microsoft.Extension.Prototyping* dll's. Sketchflow was built using 
the private blend addin model.

I believe a future version of Blend will have a public extension model. For now 
it's built your own plugins at your own risk..

Hit me up if you need some help working out how to do it all, or wait a week or 
two when i finally get out a couple of posts explaining how it works.

There doesn't seem to be too much information out there on creating add-ins for 
expression blend.
The main add-ins that existed (unify, colourful expression, xaml editor) are 
all still compiled for expression blend 2 but the add-in model changed in blend 
3, so looking at the source code on codeplex isn't a help.

Anyone got some links to get started?

Hi David,

I simply haven't found time to get my Colorful add-in up and running on
Expression 3.0.

You are right that the add-in modell changed. It was actually never intended
as a "real" add-in modell, but something used by the expression team to do
things like automated testing.

Anyways, your best bet is to fire up Reflector and start digging around. I
did that some time back, and could find a bomunch of hooks that looks
interesting, so I am sure it is still possible to write add-ins.

Let us know if you find some useful information, as I still need to get mine
updated to 3.0 :)

Good luck!
