  Hi Robert,
  
  Can you post the namespace and DLL file name you're using? I know you've checked it already :) Also, it would help if you could post the code for your IConsoleTab/ITabExtender.
  
  Sometimes, if I'm desperate, I chuck in a throw new Exception() into the constructor, just to make sure my add-in is being called at all. That should cause something to show up in the log if WHS is trying to load your tab.

  It amazes me sometimes, what the humble printf() has become...

  (*LOL*) That still is a great debuging tool, but lately I have switched to trace listeners and Studio's remote debugger....
  
  
  Robert,
  Check out Visual Studio remote debugging tool. This enables you to debug your code while running on the server from your development machine to see how it behaves. Your second option would be to add some additional logging routines that can write to a log/error file.
  
  Or else (must say I never tried if this works well for WHS addin's) you could add some simple Debug.Writelines and try running Sysinternal's DebugView utility on the server that runs your addin.
  
  - Theo.

  Thanks everyone for your replies. It's been a while since I did any programming, but wanted to port an old program over to WHS I wrote.  I am using Brendan Grant's templates.  Here is the base skeleton code, which doesn't work!
  
  

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.ComponentModel;
  using System.Drawing;
  using System.Data;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Windows.Forms;
  using Microsoft.HomeServer.Extensibility;
  
  namespace Microsoft.HomeServer.HomeServerConsoleTab.WeatherAtHome
  {
      public class HomeServerSettingsExtender : ISettingsTab
      {
          private IConsoleServices consoleServices;
          private SettingsTabUserControl tabControl;
  
          public HomeServerSettingsExtender(int width, int height, IConsoleServices consoleServices)
          {
              this.consoleServices = consoleServices;
  
              tabControl = new SettingsTabUserControl(width, height, consoleServices);
  
              //Additional setup code here
  
  
          }
  
          public Guid SettingsGuid
          {
              get
              {
                  return new Guid("09988d44-36b2-42e4-afe9-a0f756ee4612");
              }
          }
  
          public Control TabControl
          {
              get
              {
                  return tabControl;
              }
          }
  
          public Bitmap TabImage
          {
              get
              {
                  return Properties.Resources.DefaultToolBarIcon;
              }
          }
  
          public string TabText
          {
              get
              {
                  return "Weather@Home";
              }
          }
  
          public bool Commit()
          {
              return false;
          }
  
          public bool GetHelp()
          {
              return false;
          }
      }
  }
  
  

  
  And here is the Assembly file...
  

  using System.Reflection;
  using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
  using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
  
  // General Information about an assembly is controlled through the following 
  // set of attributes. Change these attribute values to modify the information
  // associated with an assembly.
  [assembly: AssemblyTitle("WeatherAtHome")]
  [assembly: AssemblyDescription("Weather Information and Severe Weather Alerts for Windows Home Server")]
  [assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
  [assembly: AssemblyCompany("")]
  [assembly: AssemblyProduct("Weather@Home for WHS")]
  [assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright ©  2009 Robert Stinnett")]
  [assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
  [assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
  
  // Setting ComVisible to false makes the types in this assembly not visible 
  // to COM components.  If you need to access a type in this assembly from 
  // COM, set the ComVisible attribute to true on that type.
  [assembly: ComVisible(false)]
  
  // The following GUID is for the ID of the typelib if this project is exposed to COM
  [assembly: Guid("ac65b3cb-4256-47dc-a010-e98ed72f4113")]
  
  // Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values:
  //
  //      Major Version
  //      Minor Version 
  //      Build Number
  //      Revision
  //
  // You can specify all the values or you can default the Revision and Build Numbers 
  // by using the '*' as shown below:
  [assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.0.0.1")]
  [assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("0.0.0.1")]

  So you're creating a Settings tab there - it's only going to show up in the WHS Console Settings dialog box. Is that what you're expecting?
  
  What's the file name of the assembly you're outputting?

  Yes, right now for step 1 all I want to do is display a tab in the console. Here is the code for that (again, basic skeleton). Neither way works. The output is called WeatherAtHome.dll

  <br/><br/>using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.ComponentModel;
  using System.Drawing;
  using System.Data;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Windows.Forms;
  using Microsoft.HomeServer.Extensibility;
  
  namespace Microsoft.HomeServer.HomeServerConsoleTab.WeatherAtHome
  {
      public class HomeServerTabExtender : IConsoleTab
      {
          private IConsoleServices consoleServices;
          private MainTabUserControl tabControl;
  
          public HomeServerTabExtender(int width, int height, IConsoleServices consoleServices)
          {
              this.consoleServices = consoleServices;
  
              tabControl = new MainTabUserControl(width, height, consoleServices);
  
              //Additional setup code here
  
  
          }
  
          public Guid SettingsGuid
          {
              get
              {
                  return new Guid("09988d44-36b2-42e4-afe9-a0f756ee4612");
              }
          }
  
          public Control TabControl
          {
              get
              {
                  return tabControl;
              }
          }
  
          public Bitmap TabImage
          {
              get
              {
                  return Properties.Resources.DefaultToolBarIcon;
              }
          }
  
          public string TabText
          {
              get
              {
                  return "Weather@Home";
              }
          }
  
          public bool GetHelp()
          {
              return false;
          }
      }
  }

  Thank you!  This worked!  You don't know how many hours I've spent trying to track this down!
