I would like to use the library (great job by the way), as
an extension to a plug in, instead of as the primary
extension. I was able to get it to try to load in IIS
Manager, but the SnapinBase.Notify function fails
because instead of a DataObject being passed in, it is
some sort of Com object.

I could really use this functionality and am willing to hire
someone to add this to it.

    You could do that as every MMC snapin can be used as
    plugin to another.
    You should read MSDN about how to do this.

    "Registration Requirements for Extension Snap-ins":

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
    us/mmc/mmc/
    registration_requirements_for_extension_snap_ins.asp

    I've managed to add my snapin as extension to Computer
    management snapin!

    Actually it's very easy when you get how to do that.

    Actually I have also gotten to be added in as an extension as
    well. The problem I am having is that I cannot get it to show
    up any lower than the top level in the other snapin. If I
    attempt to cast the object passed in hte Notify function it
    generates an execption. Can you get it to show up on a
    lower level? For example, instead of it showing up at the
    same level as System Tools, make it a child of System
    Tools. I have no idea how to do this from a programming
    standpoint, but I have no problem with the MS instructions on
    how to set it up in the registry.
